Tie::EncryptedHash, perhaps? There's nothing secret about the hash,
is there?

Could you say more about this? What is a `generic' cryptographic key?

While the algorithm is particularly useful for PKC applications, it's
not exclusively applicable to cryptography. I suggest Math::PrimeGenerator,
perhaps.

This sounds right on to me.

It sounds specific to the current implementation of Mail::Internet, and
it doesn't explain itself. Could you say more about what it does, and
perhaps why it shouldn't be folded into Mail::Internet?
