TLSH2

Rust port of the TLSH library. The code is kept close to the original C++ version, to limit bugs and help maintainability

This crate is no_std and different configurations of bucket numbers and checksum length are handled as generics, making every configuration properly optimized.

// The default builder uses 128 buckets and a 1-byte checksum.
// Other builders are also available.
let mut builder = tlsh2::TlshDefaultBuilder::new();
builder.update(b"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus");
builder.update(b"error sit voluptatem accusantium");
let tlsh = builder.build()
    .ok_or_else(|| "could not generate TLSH from payload")?;

// Alternatively, a TLSH object can be generated directly from
// a byte slice.
let tlsh2 = tlsh2::TlshDefaultBuilder::build_from(
    b"odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores"
).ok_or_else(|| "could not generate TLSH from second payload")?;

// Then, the TLSH object can be used to generated a hash or compute
// distances
assert_eq!(
    tlsh.hash(),
    b"T184A022B383C2A2A20ACB0830880CF0202CCAC080033A023800338\
      A30B0880AA8E0BE38".as_slice(),
);
// The `diff` feature is required for this computation.
assert_eq!(tlsh.diff(&tlsh2, true), 209);

Those configurations are available:

• 128 buckets and 1-byte checksum (default).
• 128 buckets and 3-byte checksum.
• 256 buckets and 1-byte checksum.
• 256 buckets and 3-byte checksum.
• 48 buckets and 1-byte checksum.

The fast feature speeds up TLSH generation but adds a 64kB lookup table.

The threaded and private options that exists in the original TLSH version are not yet implemented.
