Crypto algorithms classification: hashing vs encryption

toscalix opened this issue · 3 comments

When structuring the list of cryptographic algorithms we might want to add an entry in the template to differentiate:

  • Cyphers
  • Hashing algorithms

We might also consider salting.

Then, among cyphers, there are different types, like block or stream cyphers, for instance.

sure we could do it. We can add a add a "category" entry to solve this:
ie:
-MD5: algorithm/hash

  • AES: algorithm/cipher/block or ChaCha20: algorithm/cipher/stream
    Lets describe the structure and then we catalog the llist.

this is a discussion for the SPDX Crypto Algorithms List
