Which is part of what's meant. Don't create your own crpyto algorithm and don't write your own implementations of existing algorithms. There are so many gotchas that it would take a lot of effort to get something that's less buggy even than the much-maligned OpenSSL. Someone (I don't remember who) said that even typing the letters "RSA" is too close to rolling your own crypto.
I would not characterize implementing RSA safely as an "easy" task.
