RustCrypto: SHA-2

crate Docs Apache2/MIT licensed Rust Version Project Chat Build Status

Pure Rust implementation of the SHA-2 cryptographic hash algorithms.

There are 6 standard algorithms specified in the SHA-2 standard: Sha224, Sha256, Sha512_224, Sha512_256, Sha384, and Sha512.

Algorithmically, there are only 2 core algorithms: SHA-256 and SHA-512. All other algorithms are just applications of these with different initial hash values, and truncated to different digest bit lengths. The first two algorithms in the list are based on SHA-256, while the last four are based on SHA-512.

Examples

One-shot API

use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};
use hex_literal::hex;

let hash = Sha256::digest(b"hello world");
assert_eq!(hash, hex!("b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"));

Incremental API

use sha2::{Sha256, Sha512, Digest};
use hex_literal::hex;

let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
hasher.update(b"hello world");
let hash256 = hasher.finalize();

assert_eq!(hash256, hex!("b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9"));

let mut hasher = Sha512::new();
hasher.update(b"hello world");
let hash512 = hasher.finalize();

assert_eq!(hash512, hex!(
    "309ecc489c12d6eb4cc40f50c902f2b4d0ed77ee511a7c7a9bcd3ca86d4cd86f"
    "989dd35bc5ff499670da34255b45b0cfd830e81f605dcf7dc5542e93ae9cd76f"
));
