v.0.16.0

I am proud (and happy too) to announce the next cryptop-helper release!

You can read about all the improvements and new features below.

ASN1 tree editing

This is the most prominent and most wanted feature of this release.

• feat(asn1): implement asn1 tree editing (#105).
• fix: asn1: create/delete pop-up shake on ctrl press.
• fix(crypto-helper): asn1: remove node pop-up positioning.

It allows the user to edit the parsed ASN1 data structure (ASN1 tree): nodes creation, editing, and deletion.

Wide strings auto-decoding

feat(crypto-helper): asn1: autodecode wide strings; (#103).

I often see that in some cases, strings can be encoded as UTF-16 inside the OctetString. Now, they are auto-decoded as UTF-16 and are rendered as a usual string.

HMAC-SHA support

HMAC-SHA algorithm support: crypto-helper/commit/dcc4e41f. Including the following SHA variations: SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512.

Redirect to ASN1 page

Add button to redirect output to ans1 page (#95). Many thanks @grok-rs for his contribution! The idea is simple: redirect to the ASN1 page and try to decode the result of the cryptographic operation as an ASN1 DER structure.

Other fixes and improvements

• More OIDs: #81, #102.
• Fix incorrect diff calculation: #94. Many thanks @grok-rs for his contribution!
• Allow empty BitString decoding: #93. Many thanks @grok-rs for his contribution!
• CI: add build WASM step: crypto-helper/commit/814d1675.
• Update dependencies and refactoring: #83, #87, Rust 2024 edition (#101), #106.
• README.md and typos fixes: #79, #80, crypto-helper/commit/15785bfe, crypto-helper/commit/dd47d963.

v.0.15.0

I'm very happy to announce the next major crypto-helper release. You can read about all the improvements and new features below.

• CI:
  • Run tests on CI #38
  • GitHub Actions updates: #54 #55 #56
• JWT:
  • Minify button for the header and payload. pr #35 and issue #34
  • Token detection from the input. pr #36 and issue #32
  • Auto-decode button. pr #37 and issue #31
  • Table view for header and payload. pr #48 and issue #33
  • Add share raw JWT button #77
• crypto-helper:
  • Add Zlib support. pr #40 and issue #24
  • Compute output on ctrl + enter #42
  • Add argon2 support. pr #67 by @Jujumba
• Improved input bytes reading by filtering chars and excluding non-valid ones #41
• Local storage support. pr #59 and issue #57
• Improve logging: replace log with tracing #72
• Refactoring: #39 #64

Introduced another major feature: asn1 parser and debugger. It is available by the link: https://crypto.qkation.com/asn1. The purpose of this tool is to parse input bytes as the asn1 der structure and render the structural representation of it alongside the hex view of its fields and data. A list of supported asn1 types can be found here.
The custom asn1 parser crate has been written: asn1-parser. It parses the asn1 types and remembers their position in the input data stream. It is a useful feature for pretty rendering.
ASN1:

• Initial asn1 parser and page implementation #43
• More asn1 types: #50 #51
• Rendering improvements: #52
• Fix ASN1 freezes and latency on big input. pr #61 and issue 53
• Optimization of hex_format_byte #62 by @bugsweeper
• Fix asn1 parsing. pr #73 and issue #68
• Improve Bool parsing #74
• Fix OctetString inner bytes rendering. pr #75 and issue #69
• Remove beta badge for asn1 #76

Introduced a new tool: diff checker. The purpose of the diff-checker is to just show the diff. It lacks many modern diff-tool features. Most likely it will never have them implemented. The purpose of this tool is only to cover a few specific edge cases.
Diff checker:

• Initial implementation #60
• Non-blocking diffs computation using workers. pr #65 and issue #63
• Diffs rendering improvements #66

All new functionality mentioned above is not tested on all possible values and cases. So if you find any bug then create an issue. I'll fix it ASAP.
