#### High level API
Each hash algorithm contains a procedure group named `hash`, or if the algorithm provides more than one digest size `hash_<size>`\*.
Included in these groups are six procedures.
* `hash_string` - Hash a given string and return the computed hash. Just calls `hash_bytes` internally
* `hash_bytes` - Hash a given byte slice and return the computed hash
* `hash_string_to_buffer` - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. Just calls `hash_bytes_to_buffer` internally
* `hash_bytes_to_buffer` - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. The destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
* `hash_stream` - Takes a stream from io.Stream and returns the computed hash from it
* `hash_file` - Takes a file handle and returns the computed hash from it. A second optional boolean parameter controls if the file is streamed (this is the default) or read at once (set to true)
\* On some algorithms there is another part to the name, since they might offer control about additional parameters.
For instance, `HAVAL` offers different sizes as well as three different round amounts.
Computing a 256-bit hash with 3 rounds is therefore achieved by calling `haval.hash_256_3(...)`.
#### Low level API
The above mentioned procedures internally call three procedures: `init`, `update` and `final`.
You may also directly call them, if you wish.
#### Example
```odin
package crypto_example
// Import the desired package
import "core:crypto/md4"
main :: proc() {
input := "foo"
// Compute the hash, using the high level API
computed_hash := md4.hash(input)
// Variant that takes a destination buffer, instead of returning the computed hash
hash := make([]byte, md4.DIGEST_SIZE) // @note: Destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
md4.hash(input, hash[:])
// Compute the hash, using the low level API
ctx: md4.Md4_Context
computed_hash_low: [16]byte
md4.init(&ctx)
md4.update(&ctx, transmute([]byte)input)
md4.final(&ctx, computed_hash_low[:])
}
```
For example uses of all available algorithms, please see the tests within `tests/core/crypto`.
#### Thread safety
The crypto package is not thread-safe at the moment. This may change in the future.
### Disclaimer
The algorithms were ported out of curiosity and due to interest in the field.
We have not had any of the code verified by a third party or tested/fuzzed by any automatic means.
Wherever we were able to find official test vectors, those were used to verify the implementation.
We do not recommend using them in a production environment, without any additional testing and/or verification.
### ToDo
* Ciphers (Symmetric, Asymmetric)
* MACs (Message Authentication Code)
* CSPRNGs (Cryptographically Secure PseudoRandom Number Generator)
* KDFs (Key Derivation Function)
* KEAs (Key Exchange Algorithm)
