Reworked SHA class internals to align all the implementations. Formerly all hashes were software based, IterHashBase handled endian conversions, IterHashBase repeatedly called the single block SHA{N}::Transform. The rework added SHA{N}::HashMultipleBlocks, and the SHA classes attempt to always use it.
Now SHA{N}::Transform calls into SHA{N}_HashMultipleBlocks, which is a free standing function. An added wrinkle is hardware wants little endian data and software presents big endian data, so HashMultipleBlocks accepts a ByteOrder for the incoming data. Hardware based SHA{N}_HashMultipleBlocks can often perform the endian swap much easier by setting an EPI mask so it was profitable to defer to hardware when available.
The rework also removed the hacked-in pointers to implementations. The class now looks more like AES, GCM, etc.
This should have happened when we removed most of MAINTAIN_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY artifacts. Its not practical move SHA1 into Weak:: namespace or "typedef SHA256 SHA" because SHA1 is too intertwined at the moment.
In the interim, maybe we can place SHA1 in both CryptoPP:: and Weak:: namespaces. This will allow us to transition into Weak::SHA1 over time, and signal to users SHA1 should be avoided.
trap.h and CRYPTOPP_ASSERT has existed for over a year in Master. We deferred on the cut-over waiting for a minor version bump (5.7). We have to use it now due to CVE-2016-7420
- added AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface class and Filter wrappers
- added CCM, GCM (with SSE2 assembly), CMAC, and SEED
- improved AES speed on x86 and x64
- removed WORD64_AVAILABLE; compiler 64-bit int support is now required
