RustCrypto: Skein

Implementation of the Skein family of cryptographic hash algorithms.

There are 3 standard versions of the Skein hash function: Skein256, Skein512, Skein1024.

Output size of the Skein hash functions is arbitrary, so it has to be fixed using additional type parameter.

Examples

use hex_literal::hex;
use skein::{Digest, Skein512_256};

let mut hasher = Skein512_256::new();
hasher.update(b"The quick brown fox ");
hasher.update(b"jumps over the lazy dog");
let hash = hasher.finalize();

assert_eq!(hash, hex!("b3250457e05d3060b1a4bbc1428bc75a3f525ca389aeab96cfa34638d96e492a"));

// Hex-encode hash using https://docs.rs/base16ct
let hex_hash = base16ct::lower::encode_string(&hash);
assert_eq!(hex_hash, "b3250457e05d3060b1a4bbc1428bc75a3f525ca389aeab96cfa34638d96e492a");
