Could someone please explain what OpenSCAD is using crypto code for? 

I really hope we don't have another "phone home" app.  I really don't
want to have to change apps.

It's not phone-home, exactly.  It's dynamically picking up a list of 3D
printing services.  As Marius says, there's a change in the works to let
you enable/disable that.  (In a quick skim, it looks like it makes it
opt-in.)

(And crypto because of course everything should be using authenticated
and encrypted connections.  And I don't mean that to be the least bit
sarcastic.)
