Description
We have an amazing new project Hyperledger Ursa, that is a secure cryptography library for different projects. As the main idea of Hyperledger is to make projects interoperable it would be great to integrate Ursa cryptography into Iroha or/and maybe include Iroha's cryptography into Ursa.
