# extendhash

[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/extendhash.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/extendhash)
[![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/extendhash/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/extendhash)

**extendhash** is a Rust library to compute hashes and hash extensions.

Supported hash algorithms:

  * MD5
  * SHA-0
  * SHA-1
  * SHA-256
  * SHA-512

It supports `#![no_std]`.

## Usage

```rust
use extendhash::sha256;

let secret_data = "This is a secret!".as_bytes();
let hash = sha256::compute_hash(secret_data);
let data_length = secret_data.len();

// Now we try computing a hash extension,
// assuming that `secret_data` is not available.
// We only need `hash` and `data_length`.
let appended_message = "Appended message.".as_bytes();
let combined_hash = sha256::extend_hash(
	hash, data_length, appended_message);

// Now we verify that `combined_hash` matches the
// concatenation (note the intermediate padding):
let mut combined_data = Vec::<u8>::new();
combined_data.extend_from_slice(secret_data);
let padding = sha256::padding_for_length(data_length);
combined_data.extend_from_slice(padding.as_slice());
combined_data.extend_from_slice(appended_message);
assert_eq!(
	combined_hash,
	sha256::compute_hash(combined_data.as_slice()));
```
