Original GitLab issue: https://gitlab.com/inko-lang/inko/-/issues/283

Inko's standard library should provide support for commonly used cryptographic ciphers/algorithms, such as MD5, SHA1, etc, and whatever ciphers we need for TLS/SSL support (see https://gitlab.com/inko-lang/inko/-/issues/262).

Specifically I'm thinking of at least the following ones:

  • MD5 (even though it's broken it's still in use)
  • SHA1, SHA2, not sure if SHA3 is widely used
  • Blake2, because you should basically use this instead of SHA/MD5 whenever possible
  • ChaCha20 (TLS requires this I believe)
  • Whatever else we need for TLS 1.x

All of this should be implemented in pure Inko, as I don't want to add dozens of additional built-in functions, Rust wrapper types, etc.

TODO

Not all of these need to be implemented at once/right now. For example, X509 and secp256k1 support is something we should wait with until we're ready to start working on a TLS stack. Given my limited knowledge of cryptography we'd also need to get other people involved, as I'll inevitably implement something incorrectly.
