This module implements the SHA-256 Algorithm described by Secure Hash Standard, FIPS PUB 180-2

  • class Sha256 : tango.io.digest.MerkleDamgard.MerkleDamgard;


  • this();
  • Construct an Sha256

  • protected void reset ();
  • Initialize the cipher

    Remarks:
    Returns the cipher state to it's initial value



  • protected void createDigest (ubyte[] buf);
  • Obtain the digest

    Remarks:
    Returns a digest of the current cipher state, this may be the final digest, or a digest of the state between calls to update()



  • uint digestSize ();
  • The digest size of Sha-256 is 32 bytes

  • protected uint blockSize ();
  • Cipher block size

    Returns:
    the block size

    Remarks:
    Specifies the size (in bytes) of the block of data to pass to each call to transform(). For SHA256 the blockSize is 64.



  • protected uint addSize ();
  • Length padding size

    Returns:
    the length padding size

    Remarks:
    Specifies the size (in bytes) of the padding which uses the length of the data which has been ciphered, this padding is carried out by the padLength method. For SHA256 the addSize is 8.



  • protected void padMessage (ubyte[] data);
  • Pads the cipher data

    Params:
    ubyte[] data a slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding

    Remarks:
    Fills the passed buffer slice with the appropriate padding for the final call to transform(). This padding will fill the cipher buffer up to blockSize()-addSize().



  • protected void padLength (ubyte[] data, ulong length);
  • Performs the length padding

    Params:
    ubyte[] data the slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding
    ulong length the length of the data which has been ciphered

    Remarks:
    Fills the passed buffer slice with addSize() bytes of padding based on the length in bytes of the input data which has been ciphered.



  • protected void transform (ubyte[] input);
  • Performs the cipher on a block of data

    Params:
    data the block of data to cipher

    Remarks:
    The actual cipher algorithm is carried out by this method on the passed block of data. This method is called for every blockSize() bytes of input data and once more with the remaining data padded to blockSize().
