Hey, that sounds brilliant!

FWIW, while I was researching possible solutions I stumbled upon:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18338890/are-there-any-sha-256-javascript-implementations-that-are-generally-considered-t


which lead me to this 4.5 KB extract of only the parts of forge needed for the SHA256 computation:

    https://github.com/brillout/forge-sha256


which seems like a worthwhile bloat reduction.

Cheers!
