secretbase: Cryptographic Hash, Extendable-Output and Binary Encoding Functions

Fast and memory-efficient streaming hash functions, binary encoding and serialization. Hashes strings and raw vectors directly. Stream hashes files which can be larger than memory, as well as in-memory objects through R's serialization mechanism. Implements the SHA-256, SHA-3 and 'Keccak' cryptographic hash functions, SHAKE256 extendable-output function (XOF), 'SipHash' pseudo-random function, base64 and base58 encoding, and 'CBOR' serialization.
