Usage

var supersha = require('supersha');
var data = new Buffer('01020304', 'hex');
var key = new Buffer('05060708', 'hex');
 
var hash1 = supersha.sha256(data);
 
var hash2 = supersha.sha256hmac(data, key);
 
var hash3 = supersha.hash256(data);
 
console.log('sha256: %s', hash1.toString('hex'));
console.log('sha256 hmac: %s', hash2.toString('hex'));
console.log('double sha256: %s', hash3.toString('hex'));
