Hi,
The cannonical name of your software will be gnu-crypto. Is this
really what you want ? It means, for instance, that its home page will
be http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/.
Also, I can't find you listed as a GNU maintainer or find "crypto"
to be a registered GNU project. Would you please provide us more information
about this ?
Thanks for your patience,
