sha3

SHA3 for Ruby is a native (C) binding to SHA3 (Keccak FIPS 202) cryptographic hashing algorithm.

Warnings

Version 1.0+ breaks compatibility with previous versions of this gem.
Do NOT use SHA3 to hash passwords; use either bcrypt or scrypt instead!

Module details

SHA3::Digest: A standard Digest subclass. The interface, and operation of this class are parallel to digest classes bundled with MRI-based Rubies (e.g.: Digest::SHA2, and OpenSSL::Digest).

See documentation for Ruby's Digest class for additional details.

Installation

gem install sha3

Usage

require 'sha3'

Valid hash bit-lengths are: 224, 256, 384, 512.

:sha224  :sha256  :sha384  :sha512

# SHA3::Digest.new(224) is SHA3::Digest.new(:sha224)

Alternatively, you can instantiate using one of four sub-classes:

SHA3::Digest::SHA224.new() # 224 bits
SHA3::Digest::SHA256.new() # 256 bits
SHA3::Digest::SHA384.new() # 384 bits
SHA3::Digest::SHA512.new() # 512 bits

Basics

# Instantiate a new SHA3::Digest class with 256 bit length
s = SHA3::Digest.new(:sha256)

# OR #

s = SHA3::Digest::SHA256.new()

# Update hash state, and compute new value
s.update "Compute Me"

# << is an .update() alias
s << "Me too"

# Returns digest value in bytes
s.digest
# => "\xBE\xDF\r\xD9\xA1..."

# Returns digest value as hex string
s.hexdigest
# => "bedf0dd9a15b647..."

### Digest class-methods: ###

SHA3::Digest.hexdigest(:sha224, "Hash me, please")
# => "200e7bc18cd613..."

SHA3::Digest::SHA384.digest("Hash me, please")
# => "\xF5\xCEpC\xB0eV..."

Hashing a file

# Compute the hash value for given file, and return the result as hex
s = SHA3::Digest::SHA224.file("my_fantastical_file.bin").hexdigest

# Calling SHA3::Digest.file(...) defaults to SHA256
s = SHA3::Digest.file("tests.sh")
# => #<SHA3::Digest: a9801db49389339...>

Development

Native build tools (e.g., GCC, Minigw, etc.)
Gems: rubygems-tasks, rake, rspec, yard

Testing + RSpec

Call rake to run the included RSpec tests.

Only a small subset of test vectors are included in the source repository; however, the complete test vectors suite is available for download. Simply run the tests.sh shell script (available in the root of source directory) to generate full byte-length RSpec test files.

sh tests.sh

Releases

1.0.1 :: FIPS 202 compliance (breaks compatibility with earlier releases)
0.2.6 :: Fixed bug #4
0.2.5 :: Bug fixes. (See ChangeLog.rdoc)
0.2.4 :: Bug fixes. (YANKED)
0.2.3 :: Added documentation file (decoupled form C source); refactored C source.
0.2.2 :: Added sub-class for each SHA3 supported bit-lengths (example: SHA3::Digest::SHA256). Minor bug fix.
0.2.0 :: Production worthy, but breaks API compatibility with 0.1.x. Backward-compatibility will be maintained henceforth.
0.1.x :: Alpha code, and not suitable for production.

TO DO

Add SHAKE128/256 support
