[feature request] rsa support

[lublak]

Like the titel says: Rsa Support.

First stuff that we need is a bigint class.
i don't know where it fits. But i think BigInt should be directly in the core haxe repo?

[flashultra]

There was discussion about BigInteger and RSA here : #2
As you can see, the last suggestion was to be a separate library.
Also Nicolas mention here ( HaxeFoundation/haxe#7535 ) about adding large integer literals supports ( int64) , but not say anything about BigInt
So yes, for RSA support first need to be added BigInt.

P.S. Just as info here is a BigInt mplementation part of thx core https://github.com/fponticelli/thx.core/blob/master/src/thx/BigInt.hx

I worked on a bigint implementation this week. It covers a few but not all targets for now. But I think it can be a foundation for RSA.

@kevinresol it's a good start to keep it native.
I think it should be like the haxe.Int64.
Keep it native if it is possible and if it's not use it like the BigInt implementation of thx.core

I realise now that thx seems to be mostly a port of BigInteger.js also. Well I wasted my time :D https://github.com/Aurel300/hx-bigint

Still interested.

Does RSA have a support plan?

[B-Interactive]

BigInt support was added to the Haxe development branch earlier this year, and looks to be part of the upcoming Haxe 5 release.

See also HaxeFoundation/haxe#10750

I figure the Haxe maintainers here are well aware of this. I mention this more for other folk like myself, who simply have an interest in these features.
