How i can convert ubyte[] to BigInt and BigInt to ubyte[] ?
Or uint[]...

For example, i need RSA crypto. I should get ubyte[] data, ubyte[] key, convert it to BigInt, calculate, then save result as ubyte[] data again.

But i see BigInt convertable to string only :(

If you look in https://github.com/apartridge/crypto you'll find both an altered BigInt and RSA skeleton. I think you'll find what you are looking for.

Big thank you. I hope, this changes will be included in phobos in future.

Sometimes hoping isn't enough. If you have a need that youi think should be in Phobos, then I think you should ask for it in Bugzilla. Asking isn't equal to someone actually implementing it, but in this early stage of the life of Phobos knowing what's needed is a very interesting information.
