Add Threefish + Skein #20
Comments
Since Threefish and Skein's implementations primarily use (signed) 64 bit integers, porting should largely be a 1:1, copy-paste type of situation. |
I have some free time, but don't feel like doing any of the heftier stuff (documentation) yet. I'll get started on implementing these. |

As of right now, AES is the only available block cipher. Adding other ciphers could help us in the vague sense that providing more secure primitives is never a bad thing. Threefish is generally regarded as being secure by a large margin.
On top of that, implementing Threefish would allow us to implement Skein as well, which is a well regarded hashing function. The same logic applies; Skein was a finalist (runner-up?) in the SHA-3 competition.
