Yawning Angel 00ab3beed9 core:crypto/hash: Add a generic higher level hash interface 
There is a lot of code duplicated in convenience methods in each hash
implementation, and having a generic hash type makes implementing
higher-level constructs such as HMAC significantly easier down the road.

crypto

A cryptography library for the Odin language.

Supported

This package offers various algorithms implemented in Odin, along with useful helpers such as access to the system entropy source, and a constant-time byte comparison.

Implementation considerations

  • The crypto packages are not thread-safe.
  • Best-effort is make to mitigate timing side-channels on reasonable architectures. Architectures that are known to be unreasonable include but are not limited to i386, i486, and WebAssembly.
  • The packages attempt to santize sensitive data, however this is, and will remain a "best-effort" implementation decision. As Thomas Pornin puts it "In general, such memory cleansing is a fool's quest."
  • All of these packages have not received independent third party review.
