Hi,
I am new to boost. I don't seem to find cryptographic secure hash functions available on the library, why?
Mostly just historical happenstance, although there was concern that a random number generator (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/random/index.html) that is described as "cryptographically secure" actually be cryptographically secure. Thus only random number generators accepted by experts in the field as "cryptographically secure" should be given that designation, IMO.
How could I propose this new extention to the library?
