Hello Tomáš

Here I explain you some advantages of functions proposed:

- AESStream: It is an easy way to do strong encryption of Strings or files.

- SHA-2: Actually U++ includes SHA-1 support. However, from Wikipedia:
SHA-1 is being retired for most government uses; the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology says, 
"Federal agencies should  stop using SHA-1 for...applications that require collision resistance as soon as practical, 
and must use the SHA-2 family of hash functions for these applications after 2010"

Thanks to OpenSSL the SHA-2 implementation is very thin and simple.


Best regards
Iñaki
