All, Crypto-API - a unified interface to which I hope hash and cipher algorithms will adhere - has recently gotten a reasonable amount of polish work. I continue to welcome all comments! A blog on its current interface is online [1] as are darcs repositories of the crypto-api package [2]. Recent changes includes added block cipher modes, platform-independent RNG, tests, a simplistic benchmark framework, and minor tweaks of the classes. I've made experimental hash, block cipher and stream cipher instances. Almost no optimizations have been made as of yet! Thanks to everyone for their past comments! I have made numerous changes based on input received. If you feel I didn't respond properly to your suggestion then please ping me again - this is purely a spare time effort and things do fall through the cracks.
