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 Digest documentation for additional details (www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/digest/rdoc/Digest.html).

SHA3::Digest.compute(): A class-method with data bit-length hashing support.

gem install sha3

require 'sha3'

Valid hash bit-lengths are: 224, 256, 384, 512. You may also use corresponding symbols when instantiating a new instance or calling the SHA3::Digest.compute() method:

: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

# 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..."

# 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...>

# Compute hash of "011"
SHA3::Digest.compute(:sha224, "\xC0", 3).unpack("H*")
# => ["2b695a6fd92a..."]

• Native build tools (e.g., GCC, Minigw, etc.)

• Gems: rubygems-tasks, rake, rspec, yard

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 bit-length RSpec test files.

sh tests.sh

Tested with Rubies:

- MRI 2.1.0
- MRI 2.0.0
- MRI 1.9.3
- MRI 1.9.2
- MRI 1.8.7
- MRI Ruby-Head
- Rubinius 2

On:

- Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10, 13.04
- Windows 7, 8, 8.1
- Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.9

0.1.x

Alpha code, and not suitable for production.

0.2.0

Production worthy, but breaks API compatibility with 0.1.x. Backward-compatibility will be maintained henceforth.

0.2.2

Added sub-class for each SHA3 supported bit-lengths (example: SHA3::Digest::SHA256). Minor bug fix.

0.2.3

Added documentation file (decoupled form C source); refactored C source.

0.2.4

Bug fixes. (YANKED)

0.2.5

Bug fixes. (See ChangeLog.rdoc)

• Add support for arbitrary length hashes.

• Add hex output support to compute method.
