Crypto.Classes.Exceptions

The module mirrors Crypto.Classes except that errors are thrown as exceptions instead of having returning types of Either error result or Maybe result.

NB This module is experimental and might go away or be re-arranged.

Classes

class (Serialize d, Eq d, Ord d) => Hash ctx d | d -> ctx, ctx -> d where

The Hash class is intended as the generic interface targeted by maintainers of Haskell digest implementations. Using this generic interface, higher level functions such as hash and hash' provide a useful API for comsumers of hash implementations.

Any instantiated implementation must handle unaligned data.

Minimum complete definition: outputLength, blockLength, initialCtx, updateCtx, and finalize.

RNG Operations

newGen :: CryptoRandomGen g => ByteString -> g

Instantiate a new random bit generator. The provided bytestring should be of length >= genSeedLength. If the bytestring is shorter then the call may fail (suggested error: NotEnoughEntropy). If the bytestring is of sufficent length the call should always succeed.

This is a wrapper that can throw GenError types as exceptions.

genBytes :: CryptoRandomGen g => ByteLength -> g -> (ByteString, g)

genBytes len g generates a random ByteString of length len and new generator. The MonadCryptoRandom package has routines useful for converting the ByteString to commonly needed values (but cereal or other deserialization libraries would also work).

This is a wrapper that can throw GenError types as exceptions.

genBytesWithEntropy :: CryptoRandomGen g => ByteLength -> ByteString -> g -> (ByteString, g)

genBytesWithEntropy g i entropy generates i random bytes and use the additional input entropy in the generation of the requested data to increase the confidence our generated data is a secure random stream.

This is a wrapper that can throw GenError types as exceptions.

reseed :: CryptoRandomGen g => ByteString -> g -> g

If the generator has produced too many random bytes on its existing seed it will throw a NeedReseed exception. In that case, reseed the generator using this function and a new high-entropy seed of length >= genSeedLength. Using bytestrings that are too short can result in an exception (NotEnoughEntropy).

splitGen :: CryptoRandomGen g => g -> (g, g)

While the safety and wisdom of a splitting function depends on the properties of the generator being split, several arguments from informed people indicate such a function is safe for NIST SP 800-90 generators. (see [e-mail] discussion around Sept, Oct 2010). You can find implementations of such generators in the DRBG package.

This is a wrapper for splitGen which throws errors as exceptions.

genSeedLength :: CryptoRandomGen g => Tagged g ByteLength

Length of input entropy necessary to instantiate or reseed a generator

reseedInfo :: CryptoRandomGen g => g -> ReseedInfo

Indicates how soon a reseed is needed

reseedPeriod :: CryptoRandomGen g => g -> ReseedInfo

Indicates the period between reseeds (constant for most generators).

newGenIO :: CryptoRandomGen g => IO g

By default this uses System.Entropy to obtain entropy for newGen. WARNING: The default implementation opens a file handle which will never be closed!

data GenError

Generator failures should always return the appropriate GenError. Note GenError in an instance of exception but wether or not an exception is thrown depends on if the selected generator (read: if you don't want execptions from code that uses throw then pass in a generator that never has an error for the used functions)

Constructors

GenErrorOther String

Misc

RequestedTooManyBytes

Requested more bytes than a single pass can generate (The maximum request is generator dependent)

RangeInvalid

When using genInteger g (l,h) and logBase 2 (h - l) > (maxBound :: Int).

NeedReseed

Some generators cease operation after too high a count without a reseed (ex: NIST SP 800-90)

NotEnoughEntropy

For instantiating new generators (or reseeding)

NeedsInfiniteSeed

This generator can not be instantiated or reseeded with a finite seed (ex: SystemRandom)
