Expand description

Trait for hash functions with variable-size output.

Required Associated Constants§

source

const MAX_OUTPUT_SIZE: usize

Maximum size of output hash.

Required Methods§

source

fn new(output_size: usize) -> Result<Self, InvalidOutputSize>

Create new hasher instance with the given output size.

It will return Err(InvalidOutputSize) in case if hasher can not return hash of the specified output size.

source

fn output_size(&self) -> usize

Get output size of the hasher instance provided to the new method

source

fn finalize_variable(self, out: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), InvalidBufferSize>

Write result into the output buffer.

Returns Err(InvalidOutputSize) if out size is not equal to self.output_size().

Provided Methods§

source

fn digest_variable( input: impl AsRef<[u8]>, output: &mut [u8] ) -> Result<(), InvalidOutputSize>

Compute hash of data and write it to output.

Length of the output hash is determined by output. If output is bigger than Self::MAX_OUTPUT_SIZE, this method returns InvalidOutputSize.

source

fn finalize_boxed(self) -> Box<[u8]>

Retrieve result into a boxed slice and consume hasher.

Box<[u8]> is used instead of Vec<u8> to save stack space, since they have size of 2 and 3 words respectively.

Object Safety§

This trait is not object safe.
