For many years, “crypto” really meant only one thing in the programming world: cryptozoology. No, actually “cryptography.” However, with the advent of web3 and cryptocurrencies, the world “crypto” is becoming muddled and no-longer obvious of its purpose.
Recently, BouncyCastle[1] has gone through a little refactoring themselves after starting with `BouncyCastle` then renaming themselves to `Portable.BouncyCastle` and finally `BouncyCastle.Cryptography`. Overally, we like the final name and it was inspiration for us doing the same.

So, it isn't really marked as a “breaking” change, but `MfGames.Crypto` is being renamed to `MfGames.Cryptography`. And, to avoid the struggle we had with BouncyCastle, the namespace also was changed to reflect that change.
