ilink-hub 0.2.8

//! Virtual-token hashing helpers.
//!
//! `clients.vtoken` and the related in-memory `ClientInfo::vtoken` field must
//! never persist or carry a plaintext bearer credential. This module is the
//! single boundary that turns a plaintext vtoken into its canonical SHA-256
//! hex form (and the inverse check used by the migration path).
//!
//! Properties:
//! - The hash is a lowercase 64-char hex string (SHA-256 over UTF-8 bytes of
//!   the plaintext).
//! - `hash_vtoken` is deterministic and constant-time relative to the input
//!   length, so a timing-safe comparison is unnecessary at the call site —
//!   the storage layer compares by hash equality, not by re-hashing the
//!   candidate.
//! - `is_vtoken_hash` is a syntactic guard used by the M4 migration to detect
//!   rows that are already in canonical form (so an upgrade is a no-op on a
//!   database that was bootstrapped after M1).
//!
//! `ring::digest::SHA256` is used to avoid pulling a new crypto crate; the
//! project already depends on `ring` for `AES-256-GCM` (see M2).

/// Hash a plaintext vtoken to its canonical SHA-256 hex form.
///
/// The output is always 64 lowercase hex characters. Calling this on an
/// already-hashed vtoken will re-hash the hex string itself; this is the
/// same trap as hashing a password twice, so callers MUST ensure they only
/// pass plaintext to this function. The `is_vtoken_hash` predicate exists
/// for the migration path that needs to decide whether a stored value
/// still needs to be hashed.
