Documentation
class HashAlgorithm a whereSource
Class representing hashing algorithms.
The hash algorithm is built over 3 primitives:
init : create a new context updates : update the context with some strict bytestrings finalize : finalize the context into a digest
Methods
Initialize a new context for this hash algorithm
hashUpdates :: Context a -> [ByteString] -> Context aSource
Update the context with a list of strict bytestring, and return a new context with the updates.
hashFinalize :: Context a -> Digest aSource
Finalize a context and return a digest.
digestFromByteString :: ByteString -> Maybe (Digest a)Source
Try to convert a binary digest bytestring to a digest.
Instances
Represent a context for a given hash algorithm.
