Hi Joshua,

Allow me to recommend the formally verified cryptography from the 
Everest project. We support a wide variety of algorithms 
<https://hacl-star.github.io/Supported.html> so hopefully your needs 
would be met. We have official OCaml bindings, available via `opam 
install hacl-star`. And we can easily extend the OCaml bindings if 
there's a C algorithm that hasn't been exposed via OCaml yet.

Those bindings are used by Tezos' blockchain, which I hope provides a 
good endorsement that they are "production ready".

Best,

Jonathan
