Detailed Description

Hash functions.

A hash function maps data of arbitrary size to a bit array of a fixed size, called the message digest. Various hash functions are available:

  • BLAKE2B
  • GROESTL
  • KECCAK (Pre SHA3)
  • RIPEMD-160
  • SHAKE-128
  • SHAKE-256
  • SHA224
  • SHA256
  • SHA3
  • SHA384
  • SHA3_256
  • SHA3_512
  • SHA512

Function Documentation

cx_hash()

static int cx_hash ( cx_hash_t hash,
int  mode,
const unsigned char *  in,
unsigned int  len,
unsigned char *  out,
unsigned int  out_len 
)

Hashes data according to the specified algorithm.

This function throws an exception if the computation doesn't succeed.

Warning
It is recommended to use cx_hash_no_throw rather than this function.
Parameters
[in]hashPointer to the hash context. Shall be in RAM. Should be called with a cast.
[in]modeCrypto flag. Supported flag: CX_LAST. If set:
  • the structure is not modified after finishing
  • if out is not NULL, the message digest is stored in out
  • the context is NOT automatically re-initialized.
[in]inInput data to be hashed.
[in]lenLength of the input data.
[out]outBuffer where to store the message digest:
  • NULL (ignored) if CX_LAST is NOT set
  • message digest if CX_LAST is set
[out]out_lenThe size of the output buffer or 0 if out is NULL. If buffer is too small to store the hash an exception is thrown.
Returns
Length of the digest.
Exceptions
INVALID_PARAMETER
CX_INVALID_PARAMETER

cx_hash_final()

cx_err_t cx_hash_final ( cx_hash_t hash,
uint8_t *  digest 
)

Finalizes the hash.

A call to this function is equivalent to: cx_hash_no_throw(hash, CX_LAST, NULL, 0, out, out_len).

Parameters
[in]hashPointer to the hash context.
[out]digestThe message digest.
Returns
Error code:
  • CX_OK on success

cx_hash_get_size()

size_t cx_hash_get_size ( const cx_hash_t ctx)

cx_hash_init()

cx_err_t cx_hash_init ( cx_hash_t hash,
cx_md_t  hash_id 
)

Initializes a hash context.

Parameters
[out]hashPointer to the context to be initialized. The context shall be in RAM.
[in]hash_idMessage digest algorithm identifier.
Returns
Error code:
  • CX_OK on success
  • CX_INVALID_PARAMETER

cx_hash_init_ex()

cx_err_t cx_hash_init_ex ( cx_hash_t hash,
cx_md_t  hash_id,
size_t  output_size 
)

Initializes a hash context.

It initializes a hash context with a chosen output length (typically for eXtendable Output Functions (XOF)).

Parameters
[out]hashPointer to the context to be initialized. The context shall be in RAM.
[in]hash_idHash algorithm identifier. Typically:
  • CX_BLAKE2B
  • CX_GROESTL
  • CX_SHAKE128
  • CX_SHAKE256
[in]output_sizeLength of the output.
Returns
Error code:
  • CX_OK on success
  • CX_INVALID_PARAMETER

cx_hash_no_throw()

cx_err_t cx_hash_no_throw ( cx_hash_t hash,
uint32_t  mode,
const uint8_t *  in,
size_t  len,
uint8_t *  out,
size_t  out_len 
)

Hashes data according to the specified algorithm.

Parameters
[in]hashPointer to the hash context. Shall be in RAM. Should be called with a cast.
[in]modeCrypto flag. Supported flag: CX_LAST. If set:
  • the structure is not modified after finishing
  • if out is not NULL, the message digest is stored in out
  • the context is NOT automatically re-initialized.
[in]inInput data to be hashed.
[in]lenLength of the input data.
[out]outBuffer where to store the message digest:
  • NULL (ignored) if CX_LAST is NOT set
  • message digest if CX_LAST is set
[out]out_lenThe size of the output buffer or 0 if out is NULL. If buffer is too small to store the hash an error is returned.
Returns
Error code:
  • CX_OK on success
  • INVALID_PARAMETER
  • CX_INVALID_PARAMETER

cx_hash_update()

cx_err_t cx_hash_update ( cx_hash_t hash,
const uint8_t *  in,
size_t  in_len 
)

Adds more data to hash.

A call to this function is equivalent to: cx_hash_no_throw(hash, 0, in, in_len, NULL, 0).

Parameters
[out]hashPointer to the hash context.
[in]inInput data to add to the context.
[in]in_lenLength of the input data.
Returns
Error code:
  • CX_OK on success
  • CX_INVALID_PARAMETER
  • INVALID_PARAMETER
