Hi folks,

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a crypgraphic library that can run on the Photon. Specifically I’m looking at locally generating a SHA256 hash in Base64 encoding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Lee

I have forked the Cryptosuite project to use with the Photon and hopefully the Electron eventually. For now only the SHA256 and HMAC SHA256 functions have been debugged since these were the only two features I need right now.
