API

All methods are asynchronous and return promises (except for convert utils)

- AES
  - encrypt(text: ArrayBuffer, key: ArrayBuffer, iv: ArrayBuffer)
  - decrypt(cipherText: ArrayBuffer, key: ArrayBuffer, iv: ArrayBuffer)
- SHA
  - sha1(text: string)
  - sha1(text: ArrayBuffer)
  - sha256(text: string)
  - sha256(text: ArrayBuffer)
  - sha512(text: string)
  - sha512(text: ArrayBuffer)
- HMAC
  - hmac256(text: ArrayBuffer, key: ArrayBuffer)
- PBKDF2
  - hash(password: string, salt: ArrayBuffer, iterations: number, keyLength: number, hash: string)
- RSA
  - generateKeys(keySize: number)
  - encrypt(data: string, key: string)
  - sign(data: string, key: string, hash: string)
  - verify(data: string, secretToVerify: string, hash: string)
- utils
  - randomBytes(bytes: number)
  - convertArrayBufferToUtf8(input: ArrayBuffer)
  - convertUtf8ToArrayBuffer(input: string)
  - convertArrayBufferToBase64(input: ArrayBuffer)
  - convertBase64ToArrayBuffer(input: string)
  - convertArrayBufferToHex(input: ArrayBuffer)
  - convertHexToArrayBuffer(input: string)

NOTE: Supported hashing algorithms for RSA and PBKDF2 are:

"Raw" (RSA-only) | "SHA1" | "SHA224" | "SHA256" | "SHA384" | "SHA512"
