Wonderful!
I think that having someone that is focused on the usage side, that can help to write tools, and that can help to use cryptology, or to have as a model for how to use cryptology would be terrific.
I've added you to the repositories. Please let us know if you need help getting started, and feel free to post your code. I would assume that your application is for ciphers. Since the code in the ciphers would be necessary for your code to work, how about you put it there (the repository for cryptography ciphers on squeak source)? That way we can take a look.
Also consider learning more about the implementation side, or staying up with the projects we are working on. There is no better way to build tools then to understand in a broad way the technology that is used, or why they exist and for what purpose they were invented. We are starting with ASN.1 which is really a communication protocol.
Thanks for your participation and welcome to the team!

We are still looking for volunteers if you have an interest, have some experience, or need cryptography for your application please volunteer.
Ron, I am interested in being part of this. I have been studying and working on a Cryptography facade for the last couple of months and really enjoying the fruits of this labor. Its called "KryptOn" and I plan to share it real soon now.
My understanding of Cryptography is more on the usage side though, not the implementation side.. I don't have the math skills to fix/maintain/develop the actual cryptographic algorithms, just a pretty good understanding of their proper usage, and key management, etc.
