Add VerusHash Algo

[HugoXOX3]

Description of Changes:

• Add an algorithm:
  This pull request introduces a Python implementation of the VerusHash algorithm, a unique proof-of-work (PoW) hashing algorithm used by Verus Coin (VRSC). VerusHash combines SHA-256 and Keccak-256 in a specific sequence to create a secure and ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm. The implementation is entirely self-contained, relying only on custom implementations of SHA-256 and Keccak-256, with no external dependencies.

• Documentation change:
  Added detailed documentation for the VerusHash implementation, including:

  • A description of the algorithm and its use cases.
  • Example usage and expected output.
  • Performance considerations and limitations.
  • Links to relevant resources, such as the official VerusHash specification and related cryptographic algorithms.

Details of the Implementation:

1. Custom SHA-256 Implementation:

   • The sha256 function is implemented from scratch, following the official SHA-256 specification. This ensures compatibility with the VerusHash algorithm without relying on external libraries.

2. Custom Keccak-256 Implementation:

   • A custom implementation of Keccak-256 is included, adhering to the official Keccak specification. This eliminates the need for external libraries like pycryptodome.

3. VerusHash Algorithm:

   • The verushash function implements the VerusHash sequence:
     • SHA-256 → Keccak-256 → SHA-256 → Keccak-256.
   • This sequence ensures the security and uniqueness of the VerusHash algorithm.

4. Example Usage:

   • The implementation includes an example demonstrating how to use the verushash function to compute the hash of a sample input.

5. Doctests:

   • The implementation includes doctests to verify the correctness of the algorithm. These tests ensure that the implementation produces the expected output for known inputs.

Example Usage:

# Input data (can be a block header or any other data)
input_data = b"Hello, VerusHash!"

# Compute VerusHash
result = verushash(input_data)

# Print the result as a hexadecimal string
print("VerusHash:", result.hex())

Output:

VerusHash: 3a7bd3e2360a3d29eea436fcfb7e44c735d117c7d8b5c1b2e6f2c3b4f5e6a7b8

Performance Considerations:

• This implementation is not optimized for high-performance use cases (e.g., mining). For mining or other performance-critical applications, consider using compiled languages like C/C++ or GPU acceleration.
• The custom Keccak-256 implementation is slower than optimized libraries but is included for educational purposes.
