The Crypto class allows you to access some more advanced cryptographic functionalities in Godot.
For now, this includes generating cryptographically secure random bytes, RSA keys and self-signed X509 certificates generation, asymmetric key encryption/decryption, and signing/verification.
[codeblock]
extends Node
var crypto = Crypto.new()
var key = CryptoKey.new()
var cert = X509Certificate.new()
func _ready():
# Generate new RSA key.
key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)
# Generate new self-signed certificate with the given key.
cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=mydomain.com,O=My Game Company,C=IT")
# Save key and certificate in the user folder.
key.save("user://generated.key")
cert.save("user://generated.crt")
# Encryption
var data = "Some data"
var encrypted = crypto.encrypt(key, data.to_utf8())
# Decryption
var decrypted = crypto.decrypt(key, encrypted)
# Signing
var signature = crypto.sign(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256, data.sha256_buffer(), key)
# Verifying
var verified = crypto.verify(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256, data.sha256_buffer(), signature, key)
Compares two [PoolByteArray]s for equality without leaking timing information in order to prevent timing attacks.

Generates a self-signed [X509Certificate] from the given [CryptoKey] and [code]issuer_name[/code]. The certificate validity will be defined by [code]not_before[/code] and [code]not_after[/code] (first valid date and last valid date). The [code]issuer_name[/code] must contain at least "CN=" (common name, i.e. the domain name), "O=" (organization, i.e. your company name), "C=" (country, i.e. 2 lettered ISO-3166 code of the country the organization is based in).
A small example to generate an RSA key and a X509 self-signed certificate.
[codeblock]
var crypto = Crypto.new()
# Generate 4096 bits RSA key.
var key = crypto.generate_rsa(4096)
# Generate self-signed certificate using the given key.
var cert = crypto.generate_self_signed_certificate(key, "CN=example.com,O=A Game Company,C=IT")
Generates an [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC]HMAC[/url] digest of [code]msg[/code] using [code]key[/code]. The [code]hash_type[/code] parameter is the hashing algorithm that is used for the inner and outer hashes.
Currently, only [constant HashingContext.HASH_SHA256] and [constant HashingContext.HASH_SHA1] are supported.
