Module orion::hash

Hashing.

Use case:

orion::hash can be used to hash some given data.

An example of this could be using hashes of files to ensure integrity. Meaning, checking if a file has been modified since the time the hash was recorded.

About:

• Uses BLAKE2b with an output size of 32 bytes (i.e BLAKE2b-256).

Parameters:

• data: The data to be hashed.

Errors:

An error will be returned if:

Security:

• This interface does not support supplying BLAKE2b with a secret key, and the hashes retrieved from using orion::hash are therefore not suitable as MACs.
• BLAKE2b is not suitable for password hashing. See orion::pwhash instead.

Example:

use orion::hash::{digest, Digest};

let hash: Digest = digest(b"Some data")?;

Re-exports

pub use crate::hazardous::hash::blake2b::Digest;

Functions

digest

Hashing using BLAKE2b-256.
