SHA

SHA functions

Usage is very straightforward:

julia> using SHA

julia> bytes2hex(sha256("test"))
"9f86d081884c7d659a2feaa0c55ad015a3bf4f1b2b0b822cd15d6c15b0f00a08"

Each exported function (at the time of this writing, SHA-1, SHA-2 224, 256, 384 and 512, and SHA-3 224, 256, 384 and 512 functions are implemented) takes in either an AbstractVector{UInt8}, an AbstractString or an IO object. This makes it trivial to checksum a file:

shell> cat /tmp/test.txt
test
julia> using SHA

julia> open("/tmp/test.txt") do f
           sha2_256(f)
       end
32-element Array{UInt8,1}:
 0x9f
 0x86
 0xd0
 0x81
 0x88
 0x4c
 0x7d
 0x65
    ⋮
 0x5d
 0x6c
 0x15
 0xb0
 0xf0
 0x0a
 0x08

All SHA functions

Due to the colloquial usage of sha256 to refer to sha2_256, convenience functions are provided, mapping shaxxx() function calls to sha2_xxx(). For SHA-3, no such colloquialisms exist and the user must use the full sha3_xxx() names.

shaxxx() takes AbstractString and array-like objects (NTuple and Array) with elements of type UInt8.

Working with context

To create a hash from multiple items the SHAX_XXX_CTX() types can be used to create a stateful hash object that is updated with update! and finalized with digest!

julia> using SHA

julia> ctx = SHA2_256_CTX()
SHA2 256-bit hash state

julia> update!(ctx, b"some data")
0x0000000000000009

julia> update!(ctx, b"some more data")
0x0000000000000017

julia> digest!(ctx)
32-element Vector{UInt8}:
 0xbe
 0xcf
 0x23
 0xda
 0xaf
 0x02
 0xf7
 0xa3
 0x57
 0x92
    ⋮
 0x89
 0x4f
 0x59
 0xd8
 0xb3
 0xb4
 0x81
 0x8b
 0xc5

Note that, at the time of this writing, the SHA3 code is not optimized, and as such is roughly an order of magnitude slower than SHA2.

SHA.update! — Function

update!(context, data[, datalen])

Update the SHA context with the bytes in data. See also digest! for finalizing the hash.

Examples

julia> ctx = SHA1_CTX()
SHA1 hash state

julia> update!(ctx, b"data to to be hashed")

SHA.digest! — Function

digest!(context)

Finalize the SHA context and return the hash as array of bytes (Array{Uint8, 1}).

Examples

julia> ctx = SHA1_CTX()
SHA1 hash state

julia> update!(ctx, b"data to to be hashed")

julia> digest!(ctx)
20-element Array{UInt8,1}:
 0x83
 0xe4
 ⋮
