Would these algorithms be of general use to the Boost community? If so I would be willing to submit them formally.
It would be nice to have the popular cryptographic algorithms in the Boost, but I'm not sure that it is reasonable to reimplement them. It may be better, for example, to invite the author of the Crypto++ into the Boost community.
You are welcome to start down this road- the Crypto++ authors invariably know more about the domain than I do. That said, if my implementations would serve as a stop-gap until they contribute what they can, so be it.
The algorithms are currently part of the Adobe Source Libraries on GitHub: SHA:

I'm not a lawyer but I'm afraid that the MIT license is slightly more restrictive that the Boost license.
The licensing of the files would have to change. I will follow up on this, but there has already been talk about moving ASL over to the Boost license, so if that happens then it would make this issue moot. -foster
