Improvements and New Features

DEV-12864 - The hash() function has been updated so that in addition to the existing MessageDigest (see Hash Functions docs.oracle.com/.../StandardNames.html#MessageDigest). It also now supports the following categories of algorithms:

    - Ciphers (See encryption docs.oracle.com/.../StandardNames.html#Cipher)

    - MAC (See HMAC docs.oracle.com/.../StandardNames.html#Mac)

    - Signature (See signing docs.oracle.com/.../StandardNames.html#Signature)
