The security-sensitive counterpart to the fast, non-cryptographic Hash.* library: standard, test-vector-backed hashing for signed saves and message integrity, kept in its own namespace so nobody reaches for the wrong tool. Crypto.sha256(s) SHA-256 -> 64-char lowercase hex Crypto.hmac_sha256(key, msg) HMAC-SHA256 -> 64-char hex Crypto.verify_hmac(key, msg, mac) recompute + constant-time compare -> bool Crypto.hex(s) lowercase hex of a string's bytes Crypto.ct_equal(a, b) constant-time string equality The primitives are implemented from scratch in plain integer LLVM IR (FIPS 180-4 / RFC 2104): no libc crypto, no data-dependent branches in the compression rounds, so a given input hashes to the same 32 bytes on every platform and run. Digests are returned as hex strings, not raw bytes, because a `str` is null-terminated and a raw digest can contain a NUL. MAC checks use a non-short-circuiting compare so timing does not leak how much of a forged tag was correct. Emitted on demand via g_uses_cryptort, mirroring the emit_hash prelude gate. Scoped to the deterministic, known-answer-testable core; OS-backed random_bytes (the one piece that can't be validated by test vectors) is left for a follow-up. Tested against published SHA-256 vectors (empty/"abc"/fox + 55/56/64-byte multi-block padding) and HMAC-SHA256 vectors; wired into the self-host suite as `crypto`. Docs: a new Crypto section with honest "what this protects / does not" guidance, one page per method, all fences checked and in the inventory. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| id | name | category | kind | tokens | sig | tip | order | ns | member |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| crypto-hex | Crypto.hex | crypto | namespace-method | Crypto.hex | Crypto.hex(s) -> string | Lowercase hex of a string's bytes. | 4 | Crypto | hex |
Encodes the bytes of s as a lowercase hex string — two characters per byte, so an n-byte input becomes a 2n-character result. It is the same encoding Crypto.sha256 already applies to a digest, exposed on its own so you can render arbitrary bytes (a key id, a small binary token) in a form that is safe to print, log, or embed in text.
Parameters:
s— the string whose bytes are encoded
program HexDump {
entry {
print(Crypto.hex("abc")) # 616263
}
