See the patch-tag.com crypto repository files Data/Digest.hs and Data/Cipher.hs for proposed [http://patch-tag.com/r/crypto/snapshot/current/content/pretty/Data/Digest.hs Digest] and [http://patch-tag.com/r/crypto/snapshot/current/content/pretty/Data/Cipher.hs Cipher] typeclasses.
This would allow digests to be called with a simple "hash" function so long as they have an instance:
<haskell>
newtype SHA1 = SHA1 (Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32)
instance Digest SHA1 SHA1PartialCtx where

Crypto 5.0 notes

See the patch-tag.com crypto repository files Data/Digest.hs and Data/Cipher.hs for proposed Digest and Cipher typeclasses.

This would allow digests to be called with a simple "hash" function so long as they have an instance: 

newtype SHA1 = SHA1 (Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32, Word32)
instance Digest SHA1 SHA1PartialCtx where
  --Code goes here...

And similarly for block/stream ciphers and RNGs. Also, slurp up the various other crypto libs on hackage.

Other todos

  • Add website and darcs repo to Crypto.cabal.
  • Use test-framework.
  • Don't build tests by default - use a flag.
  • Is dominic.steinitz@blueyonder.co.uk still the correct contact email? If not, change it in CryptoHomePage.html
  • Does the readme *really* have to be in TeX?
  • Get a real bugtracker set up? code.haskell.org gives out trac hosting.
  • Holy crap that is a lot of warnings.
  • QuickCheck 2?
  • Echo hates Darcs with a passion.

Greg is working on a plotting library at this repository.
