This is some early work on std.crypto proposal. Currently only MD5, HMAC
and all SHA family functions (excluding SHA0 which is very old, broken
and no longer in use). I plan to add other crypto primitives later.
I know about one SHA1 pull request optimized for SSSE3. I think native
code must be there to support other non x86 CPUs and SIMD optimization
may be added at any time later.
Any opinions are welcome. Especially if such design is good or bad, and
what needs to be changed.
Thanks :)
Are you re-implementing the function kernels your self or are you using
an existing implementation? Given what I've heard about things like
side-channel attacks using processing times to recover keys, I'd rather
not see Phobos use anything written by less than the best expert available.
