The SAFE app (website) I’m currently working on uses SHA-512 and AES-256 and might use SHA-256 as well. I’m currently using JavaScript libraries for them, but I’d much rather be able to let the Launcher encrypt/decrypt and hash the data in question through an API call. Will this be supported?

The self-encryption part of the network will be an automatic process of uploading data through the API. Is that what you mean?
No, it’s not. I need them for my own application-specific algorithms. For example, I need AES-256 (or another symmetric encryption algorithm, but I know SAFE already uses this one) to encrypt the data field of a StructuredData object with the address of another StructuredData object (they are mathematically linked).

Got it. In that case, I haven’t heard of any included crypto API but it might be worth raising as an rfc.

Maybe you can use the JavaScript version of NaCl library to follow the same algorithms that Safe.
