The version in the Golang stdlib is a pure-go implementation, but there's an assembler variant optimized for amd64 (https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/master/sha3/keccakf_am...), which is apparently derived from the XKCP package.

Bad news for the (mostly-Golang) Ethereum ecosystem...

In last section we have created users table in our database, but we are currently storing user's password in plain text. This is something we should never do, and instead we need to store hashed password with random salt. For that we will use golang/crypto library. First we need to expand our User structure:

So in conclusion, croc seems to be pretty secure as long as you use P-256 (or P-384). Internally, the standard golang.org/x/crypto library is used, which I can guarantee is very secure, as it is used in millions of web servers around the world, and Go is a language maintained by Google, which has many security professionals at their disposal. Ultimately, the decision is yours. While I can give you my opinion and point you to correct documents, you should trust nobody other than yourself. Not even me. But still, I recommend P-256 above everything else.

I've been considering developing suck tools with Golang. Golang's crypto package golang crypto might be a great starting point if your familiar with language.

go-yara - A tool for identifying and classifying malware samples. Although YARA has functionality for templating and regular expressions, it is very limited, so I will not include this library in the upcoming tests.
