Expand description

The OpenPGP hash algorithms as defined in Section 9.4 of RFC 4880.

Note: This enum cannot be exhaustively matched to allow future extensions.

Examples

Use HashAlgorithm to set the preferred hash algorithms on a signature:

use sequoia_openpgp as openpgp;
use openpgp::packet::signature::SignatureBuilder;
use openpgp::types::{HashAlgorithm, SignatureType};

let mut builder = SignatureBuilder::new(SignatureType::DirectKey)
    .set_hash_algo(HashAlgorithm::SHA512);

Variants (Non-exhaustive)§

This enum is marked as non-exhaustive
Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.
§

MD5

Rivest et.al. message digest 5.

§

SHA1

NIST Secure Hash Algorithm (deprecated)

§

RipeMD

RIPEMD-160

§

SHA256

256-bit version of SHA2

§

SHA384

384-bit version of SHA2

§

SHA512

512-bit version of SHA2

§

SHA224

224-bit version of SHA2

§

Private(u8)

Private hash algorithm identifier.

§

Unknown(u8)

Unknown hash algorithm identifier.

Implementations§

Whether Sequoia supports this algorithm.

Creates a new hash context for this algorithm.

Errors

Fails with Error::UnsupportedHashAlgorithm if Sequoia does not support this algorithm. See HashAlgorithm::is_supported.

Returns the prefix of a serialized DigestInfo structure that contains the ASN.1 OID of this hash algorithm.

The prefix is used for encoding RSA signatures according to the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 algorithm as specified in RFC 8017.

let algo = HashAlgorithm::SHA512;
let digest = // raw bytes of the digest
let digest_info = Vec::from(algo.oid()?).extend(digest);
Errors

Fails with Error::UnsupportedHashAlgorithm for unknown or private hash algorithms.

Returns the text name of this algorithm.

Section 9.4 of RFC 4880 defines a textual representation of hash algorithms. This is used in cleartext signed messages (see Section 7 of RFC 4880).

Examples
assert_eq!(HashAlgorithm::RipeMD.text_name()?, "RIPEMD160");

Returns an iterator over all valid variants.

Returns an iterator over all known variants. This does not include the HashAlgorithm::Private, or HashAlgorithm::Unknown variants.
