Implementation of a function 'digest()' for the creation
of hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the 'md5', 'sha-1', 'sha-256',
'crc32', 'xxhash', 'murmurhash' and 'spookyhash' algorithms) permitting easy
comparison of R language objects, as well as functions such as'hmac()' to
create hash-based message authentication code. Please note that this package
is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes for which more
comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as 'OpenSSL' should be
used.
