Replace hash implementations with Library

Open jessek opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I would like to replace the mishmash of hash algorithm implementations with a single library. This will allow us to quickly add support for new algorithms (e.g. SHA-3), remove worries about bug fixes for the algorithms, and simplify the licensing.

From my informal research, Crypto++ looks like a good choice, http://www.cryptopp.com/. But I haven't gotten around to creating a drop-in replacement for it yet.

Does anybody have any experience with crypto libraries? Have a better suggestion?
