OpenSSL is quite robust, well documented. tested, and proven
OpenSSL provides a full compilement of cryptography and hashing functions
On Linux/OSX you can link to external shared object files, which further
reduces project build size and system resources

Side benefit: OpenSSL also provides a simple secure socket implementation,
which many times pairs nicely along with SHA/HMAC
