Hi everyone,
Given the current work on optimising and fixing the hash package, I
would like to propose adding two additional families of hash functions
to the package:
* SHA-2: namely SHA-224 and SHA-256 (they essentially share the
algorithm with some changes to the initial constants and final
output), and SHA-384 and SHA-512 (also share an algorithm). Possibly
also SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256.
* SHA-3, aka. Keccak. Initially just SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384 and
SHA3-512. There's quite a lot available here, like the SHAKE
algorithms, and will probably take more time to implement.
Would this be an acceptable addition? If someone wants to take on the
challenge, go for it. I have a new work contract starting very soon so
if I were to do it, it would take some time... that and I've got a
backlog of merge requests for Free Pascal that I'm still waiting for
approval or rejection on.
Kit
