secretbase: Cryptographic Hash Functions and Data Encoding

Description

Fast and memory-efficient streaming hash functions, binary/text encoding and serialization. Hashes strings and raw vectors directly. Stream hashes files which can be larger than memory, as well as in-memory objects through R's serialization mechanism. Implements the SHA-256, SHA-3 and 'Keccak' cryptographic hash functions, SHAKE256 extendable-output function (XOF), 'SipHash' pseudo-random function, base64 and base58 encoding, 'CBOR' and 'JSON' serialization.
