Crypto.Hash.IO

Class representing hashing algorithms.

The interface presented here is update in place and lowlevel. the Hash module takes care of hidding the mutable interface properly.

A Mutable hash context

This type is an instance of ByteArrayAccess for debugging purpose. Internal layout is architecture dependent, may contain uninitialized data fragments, and change in future versions. The bytearray should not be used as input to cryptographic algorithms.

Create a new mutable hash context.

the algorithm used is automatically determined from the return constraint.

Create a new mutable hash context.

The algorithm is explicitely passed as parameter

Update a mutable hash context in place

Finalize a mutable hash context and compute a digest

Reset the mutable context to the initial state of the hash
