Crypto.Hash.SHA512

Contents

Description

A module containing SHA-512 bindings

Synopsis

Incremental API

This API is based on 4 different functions, similar to the lowlevel operations of a typical hash:

  • init: create a new hash context
  • update: update non-destructively a new hash context with a strict bytestring
  • updates: same as update, except that it takes a list of strict bytestrings
  • finalize: finalize the context and returns a digest bytestring.

all those operations are completely pure, and instead of changing the context as usual in others language, it re-allocates a new context each time.

Example:

import qualified Data.ByteString
import qualified Crypto.Hash.SHA512 as SHA512

main = print digest
  where
    digest = SHA512.finalize ctx
    ctx    = foldl SHA512.update ctx0 (map Data.ByteString.pack [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ])
    ctx0   = SHA512.init

newtype Ctx Source #

SHA-512 Context

The context data is exactly 208 bytes long, however the data in the context is stored in host-endianness.

The context data is made up of

  • Two Word64s representing the number of bytes already feed to hash algorithm so far (lower word first),
  • a 128-element Word8 buffer holding partial input-chunks, and finally
  • a 8-element Word64 array holding the current work-in-progress digest-value.

Consequently, a SHA-512 digest as produced by hash, hashlazy, or finalize is 64 bytes long.

Constructors

Ctx ByteString 

init :: Ctx Source #

create a new hash context

update :: Ctx -> ByteString -> Ctx Source #

update a context with a bytestring

updates :: Ctx -> [ByteString] -> Ctx Source #

updates a context with multiple bytestrings

finalize :: Ctx -> ByteString Source #

finalize the context into a digest bytestring (64 bytes)

Single Pass API

This API use the incremental API under the hood to provide the common all-in-one operations to create digests out of a ByteString and lazy ByteString.

Example:

import qualified Data.ByteString
import qualified Crypto.Hash.SHA512 as SHA512

main = print $ SHA512.hash (Data.ByteString.pack [0..255])

NOTE: The returned digest is a binary ByteString. For converting to a base16/hex encoded digest the base16-bytestring package is recommended.

hash :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #

hash a strict bytestring into a digest bytestring (64 bytes)

hashlazy :: ByteString -> ByteString Source #

hash a lazy bytestring into a digest bytestring (64 bytes)
