The output size * can be chosen by the application. * * The minimum recommended output size is crypto_generichash_BYTES. * This size makes it practically impossible for two messages to * produce the same fingerprint. * * But for specific use cases, the size can be any value between * crypto_generichash_BYTES_MIN (included) and * crypto_generichash_BYTES_MAX (included). * * key can be NULL and keylen can be 0. In this case, a message will * always have the same fingerprint, similar to the MD5 or SHA-1 * functions for which crypto_generichash() is a faster and more * secure alternative. * * But a key can also be specified. A message will always have the * same fingerprint for a given key, but different keys used to hash * the same message are very likely to produce distinct fingerprints. * * In particular, the key can be used to make sure that different * applications generate different fingerprints even if they process * the same data. * * The recommended key size is crypto_generichash_KEYBYTES bytes. * * However, the key size can by any value between * crypto_generichash_KEYBYTES_MIN (included) and * crypto_generichash_KEYBYTES_MAX (included). */ void generichash(void) { unsigned char key[crypto_generichash_KEYBYTES_MAX]; unsigned char hash[crypto_generichash_BYTES]; unsigned char message[MAX_INPUT_LEN]; size_t message_len; size_t key_len; puts("Example: crypto_generichash\n"); key_len = prompt_input("a key", (char*)key, sizeof key, 1); message_len = prompt_input("a message", (char*)message, sizeof message, 1); printf("Hashing message with %s\n", crypto_generichash_primitive()); if (crypto_generichash(hash, sizeof hash, message, message_len, key, key_len) != 0) { puts("Couldn't hash the message, probably due to the key length"); } else { printf("Hash: "); print_hex(hash, sizeof hash); } } int main(void) { init(); generichash(); return 0; }
