The openssl command (coming already with base but available as
a pkg, too) makes its plethora of crypt algos available to you,
independently of any SSL context.

To quickly see the list of supported algorithms and learn more:

	% openssl enc -ciphers
	% man openssl-enc

(Decrypting is done via the enc "-d" option.)
