There is no "usual best practice around crypto" in Squeak or any other technology. "Crypto" is just one primitive tool of several needed for digital security, and depending on what the security requirements are..
Squeak's Cryptography package works and includes test-cases demonstrating its various capabilities.

If it is not absolutely crucial to be 100% secure, then using lower-level may suffice. IMO, ultimately, the end-to-end argument cannot be denied, which is why we protect our sensitive bits at the core (e.g., the domain objects themselves)..
