Expand description
An implementation of the SHA-2 cryptographic hash algorithms.
There are 6 standard algorithms specified in the SHA-2 standard:
Sha224
, which is the 8 x 32-bitSha256
algorithm with the result truncated to 224 bits.Sha256
, which is the 8 x 32-bitSha256
algorithm.Sha384
, which is the 8 x 64-bitSha512
algorithm with the result truncated to 384 bits.Sha512
, which is the 8 x 64-bitSha512
algorithm.Sha512Trunc224
, which is the 8 x 64-bitSha512
algorithm with the result truncated to 224 bits.Sha512Trunc256
, which is the 8 x 64-bitSha512
algorithm with the result truncated to 256 bits.
Algorithmically, there are only 2 core algorithms: Sha256
and Sha512
.
All other algorithms are just applications of these with different initial
hash values, and truncated to different digest bit lengths.
Usage
use hex_literal::hex;
use sha2::{Sha256, Sha512, Digest};
// create a Sha256 object
let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
// write input message
hasher.update(b"hello world");
// read hash digest and consume hasher
let result = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(result[..], hex!("
b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9
")[..]);
// same for Sha512
let mut hasher = Sha512::new();
hasher.update(b"hello world");
let result = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(result[..], hex!("
