Attention!
V-crypto has no connection to the official V community and is not maintained by it.
→ It is not recommended to use the algorithms implemented here productively until the status is implemented. As a non-cryptographer, I cannot fully validate the security.

Contributions welcome!

• a detailed overview of important cryptographic algorithms, protocols and formats,
• the current implementation status of the official V community.
• less known but relevant as well as self-developed official algorithms that might be published here.

The V wrapper libsodium [Git] has some of these algorithms.

In general, the functionality is easy to understand based on the tests of the respective algorithm. For larger algorithms, a README file with the most important functions follows.

import v_crypto.md4

fn main(){
    // short way to get MD4 hex hash
    println("`test` hashed with MD4 is: "+md4.hexhash("test"))

    // long way to get bytes array
    mut d := md4.new()
    blocksize, bytes_hash := d.checksum('test'.bytes())
    println("input produces a bytes checksum $bytes_hash.hex() with block size: $blocksize")

    d.reset() // with reset, a new empty checksum can be produced
    _, _ := d.checksum('Hi from V_crypto. This is an example of a long long line.'.bytes())
}
