what about such essential things like data compression and data encription?
i think these two will perfectly fit into boost as policy driven (template?) libraries
at least there would be a kind of standard interface to these facilities
How about, as a prerequisite to a larger encryption library, more cryptographic hashes? For instance, UUID has an SHA-1, but would rather not maintain its own. Also, there are MD5-based UUIDs that the library can't provide yet, since it lacks an MD5 hasher. I suspect a boost asymmetrical encryption system will need to wait until we finally get a bigint library.
