Module EverCrypt.HashSource
Agile, multiplexing hashing interface, exposing 4 variants of SHA-2 (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512), BLAKE2, and 2 legacy algorithms (SHA-1, MD5). It offers both direct hashing and a streaming interface.
Note: The agile BLAKE2 interface is NOT currently multiplexing and it only exposes the portable C implementations of BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s. Optimised, platform-specific versions are aviailable in Hacl.
For digest, its size must match the size of the digest produced by the algorithm being used:
- SHA-224: 28 bytes
- SHA-256: 32 bytes
- SHA-384: 48 bytes
- SHA-512: 64 bytes
- BLAKE2b: <= 64 bytes
- BLAKE2s: <= 32 bytes
The legacy algorithms (marked deprecated) should NOT be used for cryptographic purposes. For these, the size of the digest is:
- SHA-1: 20 bytes
- MD5: 16 bytes
Direct interface
hash alg msg hashes msg using algorithm alg and returns the digest.
Streaming interface
To use the agile streaming interface, users first need to initialise an internal state using init. The state will then need to be passed to every call to update and finish. Both update and finish can be called as many times as needed without invalidating the state. Users are not required to manually free the state.
When using the streaming interface, the total number of bytes passed through update must not exceed
- 261 for SHA-224, SHA-256, and the legacy algorithms
- 2125 for SHA-384 and SHA-512
init alg allocates the internal state for algorithm alg and returns a t.
update st msg updates the internal state st with the contents of msg.
finish st returns the digest without invalidating the internal state st.
