Add SHA-512/256 digest implementation via BoringSSL
Checklist
If you've made changes to
gybfiles.script/generate_boilerplate_files_with_gyband included updated generated files in a commit of this pull requestMotivation:
Neither CryptoKit nor swift-crypto currently explore the SHA-512/256 hashing function. SHA-512/256 provides the same 256-bit security level as SHA-256 but can be significantly faster on 64-bit platforms because it uses the SHA-512 internal structure, which operates on 64-bit words.
Modifications:
We modified CryptoExtras to include support using the BoringSSL implementation.
Result:
Swift ecosystem supports SHA-512/256.
