SHA-1.4.1.1: Implementations of the SHA suite of message digest functions

Data.Digest.Pure.SHA

Contents

Description

Pure implementations of the SHA suite of hash functions. The implementation is basically an unoptimized translation of FIPS 180-2 into Haskell. If you're looking for performance, you probably won't find it here.

Synopsis

Digest and related functions

data Digest

An abstract datatype for digests.

Instances

Eq Digest 
Ord Digest 
Show Digest 

showDigest :: Digest -> String

Convert a digest to a string. The digest is rendered as fixed with hexadecimal number.

integerDigest :: Digest -> Integer

Convert a digest to an Integer.

bytestringDigest :: Digest -> ByteString

Convert a digest to a ByteString.

Calculating hashes

sha1 :: ByteString -> Digest

Compute the SHA-1 hash of the given ByteString. The output is guaranteed to be exactly 160 bits, or 20 bytes, long. This is a good default for programs that need a good, but not necessarily hyper-secure, hash function.

sha224 :: ByteString -> Digest

Compute the SHA-224 hash of the given ByteString. Note that SHA-224 and SHA-384 differ only slightly from SHA-256 and SHA-512, and use truncated versions of the resulting hashes. So using 224/384 may not, in fact, save you very much ...

sha256 :: ByteString -> Digest

Compute the SHA-256 hash of the given ByteString. The output is guaranteed to be exactly 256 bits, or 32 bytes, long. If your security requirements are pretty serious, this is a good choice. For truly significant security concerns, however, you might try one of the bigger options.

sha384 :: ByteString -> Digest

Compute the SHA-384 hash of the given ByteString. Yup, you guessed it, the output will be exactly 384 bits, or 48 bytes, long.

sha512 :: ByteString -> Digest

For those for whom only the biggest hashes will do, this computes the SHA-512 hash of the given ByteString. The output will be 64 bytes, or 512 bits, long.
