Wouldn't this be as / more useful https://github.com/ahkscript/LibCrypt.ahk :grey_question:

[hoppfrosch]

Thanks for your response/suggestion - that's what I hope for when I suggest a new item to add as a new issue here - with the label discussion ;-). Else if there's no reaction from other board members I'm gonna add my suggestion after a certain period of time.

I haven't seen/noticed this library before (or haven't remebered it). As I was searching for SHA-256 on the forum I found jNizM's collection, which satisfied my needs ... and as no crypt library was on our list yet, I suggested this one.

You might be right: as joedf's library has included jNizM's functions we probably should list joedf's one,

• it offers more functionality
• it seems to be newer
• it's an enclosed library, whereas jNitM's functions are part of a more general collection

But I don't mind ...

I see that both could be included, but simply mention in the description the availability of alternatives.

[hoppfrosch]

Really both? It seems thy https://github.com/ahkscript/LibCrypt.ahk includes https://github.com/jNizM/AutoHotkey_Scripts/tree/master/Functions/Checksums - at least the comments on libcrypt say this .... (so the code should be almost identical ...)

[joedf]

Hmm... Maybe you're right. Then I would put only libcrypt.ahk, as it mentions everyone's contributions.

As there were no more objections, libcrypt should be added
