Research direction

Review the existing crypto-provider structure and the repository tests, then compare them with the SymCrypt support described in the linked rust-symcrypt project. Confirm the provider integration requirements and whether the existing tests cover the proposed drop-in replacement before determining what a complete contribution would need.

Description

Hello, I have a fork where I've added support for SymCrypt as a crypto provider - so far it seems to work w/ the tests in the repo as well as another project I'm working with as a drop-in replacement.

Since it would be adding a new crypto provider, I wanted to file an issue to see if this something this project would be open to before putting up a PR.
