core:crypto/hash: Add a generic higher level hash interface
There is a lot of code duplicated in convenience methods in each hash implementation, and having a generic hash type makes implementing higher-level constructs such as HMAC significantly easier down the road.

#### High level API
|
||||
|
||||
Each hash algorithm contains a procedure group named `hash`, or if the algorithm provides more than one digest size `hash_<size>`\*.
|
||||
Included in these groups are six procedures.
|
||||
- `hash_string` - Hash a given string and return the computed hash. Just calls `hash_bytes` internally
|
||||
- `hash_bytes` - Hash a given byte slice and return the computed hash
|
||||
- `hash_string_to_buffer` - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. Just calls `hash_bytes_to_buffer` internally
|
||||
- `hash_bytes_to_buffer` - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. The destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
|
||||
- `hash_stream` - Takes a stream from io.Stream and returns the computed hash from it
|
||||
- `hash_file` - Takes a file handle and returns the computed hash from it. A second optional boolean parameter controls if the file is streamed (this is the default) or read at once (set to true)
|
||||
|
||||
\* On some algorithms there is another part to the name, since they might offer control about additional parameters.
|
||||
For instance, `SHA-2` offers different sizes.
|
||||
Computing a 512-bit hash is therefore achieved by calling `sha2.hash_512(...)`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Low level API
|
||||
|
||||
The above mentioned procedures internally call three procedures: `init`, `update` and `final`.
|
||||
You may also directly call them, if you wish.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```odin
|
||||
package crypto_example
|
||||
|
||||
// Import the desired package
|
||||
import "core:crypto/blake2b"
|
||||
|
||||
main :: proc() {
|
||||
input := "foo"
|
||||
|
||||
// Compute the hash, using the high level API
|
||||
computed_hash := blake2b.hash(input)
|
||||
|
||||
// Variant that takes a destination buffer, instead of returning the computed hash
|
||||
hash := make([]byte, sha2.DIGEST_SIZE) // @note: Destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
|
||||
blake2b.hash(input, hash[:])
|
||||
|
||||
// Compute the hash, using the low level API
|
||||
ctx: blake2b.Context
|
||||
computed_hash_low: [blake2b.DIGEST_SIZE]byte
|
||||
blake2b.init(&ctx)
|
||||
blake2b.update(&ctx, transmute([]byte)input)
|
||||
blake2b.final(&ctx, computed_hash_low[:])
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
For example uses of all available algorithms, please see the tests within `tests/core/crypto`.
|
||||
This package offers various algorithms implemented in Odin, along with
|
||||
useful helpers such as access to the system entropy source, and a
|
||||
constant-time byte comparison.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- The crypto packages are not thread-safe.
|
||||
- Best-effort is make to mitigate timing side-channels on reasonable
|
||||
architectures. Architectures that are known to be unreasonable include
|
||||
architectures. Architectures that are known to be unreasonable include
|
||||
but are not limited to i386, i486, and WebAssembly.
|
||||
- Some but not all of the packages attempt to santize sensitive data,
|
||||
however this is not done consistently through the library at the moment.
|
||||
As Thomas Pornin puts it "In general, such memory cleansing is a fool's
|
||||
quest."

- The packages attempt to santize sensitive data, however this is, and
|
||||
will remain a "best-effort" implementation decision. As Thomas Pornin
|
||||
puts it "In general, such memory cleansing is a fool's quest."
|
||||
- All of these packages have not received independent third party review.
