package require Tcl 8.2
package require ripemd160 ?1.0.1?
This package is an implementation in Tcl of the RIPEMD-160
message-digest algorithm (1). This algorithm takes an arbitrary
quantity of data and generates a 160-bit message digest from the
input. The RIPEMD-160 algorithm is based upon the MD4 algorithm (2,
4) but has been cryptographically strengthened against weaknesses
that have been found in MD4 (4).
- ::ripemd::ripemd160 ?-hex? [ -channel channel | -file filename | string ]
- Calculate the RIPEMD-160 digest of the data given in string.
This is returned as a binary string by default. Giving the -hex option will return a hexadecimal encoded
version of the digest.
The data to be hashed can be specified either as a string argument
to the ripemd160 command, or as a filename or a pre-opened channel.
If the -filename argument is given then the file
is opened, the data read and hashed and the file is closed. If the
-channel argument is given then data is read
from the channel until the end of file. The channel is not
closed.
Only one of -file, -channel
or string should be given.
- ::ripemd::hmac160 ?-hex? -key key [ -channel channel | -file filename | string ]
- Calculate an Hashed Message Authentication digest (HMAC) using
the RIPEMD-160 digest algorithm. HMACs are described in RFC 2104
(5) and provide a RIPEMD-160 digest that includes a key. All
options other than -key are as for the ::ripemd::ripemd160 command.
For the programmer, hash functions can be viewed as a bucket
into which one pours data. When you have finished, you extract a
value that is uniquely derived from the data that was poured into
the bucket. The programming interface to the hash operates on a
token (equivalent to the bucket). You call RIPEMD160Init to obtain a token and then call RIPEMD160Update as many times as required to add data to
the hash. To release any resources and obtain the hash value, you
then call RIPEMD160Final. An equivalent set of
functions gives you a keyed digest (HMAC).
If you have critcl and have built the
tcllibc package then the implementation of the
hashing function will be performed by compiled code. Alternatively
if both the Trf and Memchan extensions are available then these
will be used. Finally the package will revert to a pure-Tcl
implementation. The programming interface remains the same,
however.
- ::ripemd::RIPEMD160Init
- Begins a new RIPEMD-160 hash. Returns a token ID that must be
used for the remaining functions.
- ::ripemd::RIPEMD160Update token data
- Add data to the hash identified by token. Calling
RIPEMD160Update $token "abcd" is equivalent to calling
RIPEMD160Update $token "ab" followed by
RIPEMD160Update $token "cb". See EXAMPLES.
- ::ripemd::RIPEMD160Final token
- Returns the hash value and releases any resources held by this
token. Once this command completes the token will be invalid. The
result is a binary string of 16 bytes representing the 160 bit
RIPEMD-160 digest value.
- ::ripemd::RIPEHMAC160Init key
- This is equivalent to the ::ripemd::RIPEMD160Init command except that it requires
the key that will be included in the HMAC.
- ::ripemd::RIPEHMAC160Update token data
- ::ripemd::RIPEHMAC160Final token
- These commands are identical to the RIPEMD160 equivalent
commands.
