Crypto Detector for VS Code
Detect cryptographic algorithms, usage patterns, and their quantum-safety level directly in your code.
Features
- Automatically scans your files for known cryptographic algorithms.
- Displays:
- Algorithm name (e.g., RSA, AES, SHA-256)
- Location in code (line number, file)
- Usage count
- Quantum-safety status ✅❌
- Nicely formatted terminal summary report.
