Crate skein

Implementation of the Skein family of cryptographic hash algorithms.

There are 3 standard versions of the Skein hash function:

• Skein256
• Skein512
• Skein1024

Output size of the Skein hash functions is arbitrary, so it has to be fixed using additional type parameter

Examples

Hash functionality is usually accessed via the Digest trait:

use hex_literal::hex;
use skein::{Digest, Skein512, consts::U32};

// Create a Skein-512-256 hasher object
let mut hasher = Skein512::<U32>::new();

// Write input message
hasher.update(b"The quick brown fox ");
hasher.update(b"jumps over the lazy dog");

// Read hash digest
let result = hasher.finalize();

let expected = hex!("b3250457e05d3060b1a4bbc1428bc75a3f525ca389aeab96cfa34638d96e492a");
assert_eq!(result[..], expected[..]);
