TLDR

• random shouldnt be used for cryptographic purposes
• mersenne is deprecated; use random instead
• hashes
  • overload hash proc using !$ and !& to enable hashing of custom datatypes

TODOs

• shared hash fns

links

• other
  • before using any nim hashing fn: read this
• high impact
  • base64 en/decoder
  • efficient 1way hashing
  • globally distributed unique IDs
  • md5 checksums
  • openssl
  • random number generator
  • random sys number generator
  • sha-1
  • ssl cert finder
• nitche
  • mersenne

ssl_certs

• scans for SSL certs in SSL_CERT_FILE and SSL_CERT_DIR
• come back later

env vars

• SSL_CERT_FILE
• SSL_CERT_DIR

hashes

• efficient 1-way hashing of nim types

hashes procs

• !& start/mix a hash value of a new datatype
• !$ finish the hash value of a new datatype
• hash of x
• hashIgnoreStyle of X
• hashIgnoreCase of x
• hashData X an array of bytes of size int
• hashIdentity of X
• hashWangYi1 of 64-bit ints

base64

• base64 en/decoder for strings and lists of ints/chars

base64 procs

• encode to base64; pass true for URL & filesystem safe encoding
• decode from bas64; leading whitespace is ignored
• encodeMime into base64 as lines; something to do with email MIME format
• initDecodeTable dunno
