What sort of encryption do you want to do?  What are you trying to
protect against?  There are numerous libraries out there but which to
use depends on the problem you are trying to solve.  (At-rest storage,
transmission over untrusted connections, key exchange over untrusted
connections, secret sharing, stream vs. block ciphers, authentication,
etc etc etc).
