As a cryptocurrency enthusiast and finance practitioner, I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve the robustness of my crypto libraries. Could you elaborate on some key strategies for achieving this? Specifically, I'm interested in methods to strengthen the security of the library's codebase, ensure it remains resilient against potential vulnerabilities, and also enhance its overall stability and performance. Are there any best practices or industry standards I should be aware of? I'm also curious about how regular updates and patch releases factor into maintaining a robust crypto library. Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

To enhance the functionality and accessibility of the cryptography library, it is proposed to split it into three distinct components: Crypto (core), CryptoLW (light-weight), and CryptoLegacy (deprecated algorithms). This segmentation aims to streamline the usage and maintenance of the library.

CryptoLegacy will contain deprecated cryptographic algorithms that are no longer recommended for new applications but may be required for legacy systems. This will allow for gradual phasing out of older algorithms.
