ascon is an implementation of Ascon-Based Cryptography module implemented in pure V language.
This module was mostly based on NIST Special Publication of 800 NIST SP 800-232 document.
Its describes an Ascon-Based Lightweight Cryptography Standards for Constrained Devices
thats provides Authenticated Encryption, Hash, and Extendable Output Functions.
See the NIST.SP.800-232 Standard for more detail.
This module mostly implements all the features availables on the document. It currently implements:
Ascon-Hash256, Ascon-based hashing implementation that produces 256-bits output.Ascon-XOF128, Ascon-based eXtendable Output Function (XOF) where the output size of
the hash of the message can be selected by the user.Ascon-CXOF128, a customized XOF that allows users to specify a customization
string and choose the output size of the message hash.Ascon-AEAD128, an Authenticated Encryption with Additional Data (AEAD) Scheme based
on Ascon-family crypto.
