[Zope] Crypt equivalent for Zope?

[AM]

I have a simple product that does RC2 encryption and allows you to set a 
key in the ZMI, + a page for testing stuff...

I can email the source to whoever needs it. It might not be the best 
possible code but works quite well and quite fast for  keys upto 1K in 
size. I havent tested more than that..
