** Installation
|
|
The dynamic library is built with ~Cargo~ and ~Rust~, and the cli example program is built with ~gcc~.
|
|
|
|
*** Build and install
|
|
The default build configuration builds both the dynamic library and the cli example program, and copies them to =/usr/lib/libkhash.so= and =/usr/bin/kana-hash= respectively.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ make && sudo make install
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
The install path can be changed by editing the ~INSTALL~ and ~INSTALL-BIN~ paths in the [[file:./Makefile][Makefile]].
|
|
|
|
*** Uninstall
|
|
To remove installed binaries, run:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ sudo make uninstall
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Other build configurations
|
|
The Makefile contains some other build directives.
|
|
|
|
**** Native code optimisations
|
|
By default =libkhash= builds the shared library with native architecture optimisations enabled.
|
|
If you are intending to move the binary to another architecture, this might not be desireable.
|
|
To build without such optimisations, run:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ make khash-nonative
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
**** Tests
|
|
To build and run all tests, run:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ make test
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
**** Building the CLI
|
|
The default =make= directive builds both the library and the CLI example program.
|
|
To build just the CLI example program, run:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ cd cli && make
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** TODO Rust crate
|
|
|
|
** C header
|
|
A header file is provided for C programs wanting to use the khash interface.
|
|
Documented more fully in [[file:./include/khash.h][./include/khash.h]].
|
|
All symbols defined here begin with either =KHASH_= (for macros) or =khash_=.
|
|
|
|
*** Example
|
|
To create a context
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC c
|
|
#include <khash.h>
|
|
|
|
const char* input_salt = "salt!";
|
|
const char* input_data = "some data to hash".
|
|
khash_context ctx;
|
|
assert(khash_new_context(KHASH_ALGO_SHA256, KHASH_SALT_TYPE_SPECIFIC, input_salt, strlen(input_salt), &ctx) == KHASH_SUCCESS, "khash_new_context() failed.");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
Find the buffer length we need and allocate a buffer.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC c
|
|
size_t length;
|
|
assert(khash_length(&ctx, input_data, strlen(input_data), &length) == KHASH_SUCCESS, "khash_length() failed.");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create the buffer and hash, then print the result to ~stdout~.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC c
|
|
char* buffer = alloca(length+1);
|
|
assert(khash_do(&ctx, input_data, strlen(input_data), buffer, length) == KHASH_SUCCESS, "khash_do() failed.");
|
|
buffer[length] = 0; // Ensure we have a NUL terminator.
|
|
|
|
setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); //Ensure we can print UTF-8.
|
|
printf("Kana hash: %s\n", buffer);
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, we can allocate the max length needed instead of calculating it.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC c
|
|
size_t length;
|
|
assert(khash_max_length(KHASH_ALGO_SHA256, strlen(input_data), &length) == KHASH_SUCCESS, "khash_max_length() failed.");
|
|
char* buffer = alloca(length+1);
|
|
memset(buffer, 0, length+1); //Ensure NUL terminators.
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|

**** Types
|
|
There are 2 exported structs, although you will rarely need to access their members directly.
|
|
| Name | Field | Description |
|
|
|-----------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| ~khash_salt~ | | A salt allocated into a context by ~khash_new_context()~ and released by ~khash_free_context()~. You shouldn't mess with its field directly. |
|
|
| | /salt_type/ | The type of the salt. |
|
|
| | /size/ | The size of the salt. |
|
|
| | /body/ | A pointer to the body of the salt. (The memory allocated here is not guaranteed to be of the provided /size/.) |
|
|
|-----------------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| ~khash_context~ | | A context for the =khash_= functions. Allocated by ~khash_new_context()~. You can modify its fields if you want. |
|
|
| | /algo/ | The algorithm for this context. |
|
|
| | /flags/ | Placeholder for potential flags added in the future. Currently unused. |
|
|
| | /salt/ | The allocated salt. You shouldn't directly mess with this field. |
|
|
**** Functions
|
|
All defined functions return either ~KHASH_SUCCESS~ or one of the =KHASH_ERROR_= values [[Macros][above]].
|
|
| Name | Parameters | Description |
|
|
|-----------------------+------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| ~khash_new_context~ | /algo/, /salt_type/, /data/, /size/, /output/ | Creates a new context for use with other =libkhash= functions. /algo/ is expected to be one of the =KHASH_ALGO_= macros listed [[Macros][above.]] Likewise /salt_type/ is expected to be one of the =KHASH_SALT_TYPE_= macros. /data/ can be ~NULL~ unless /salt_type/ is set to ~KHASH_SALT_TYPE_SPECIFIC~, in which exactly /size/ bytes are read from /data/. /output/ is expected to be a valid pointer to a currently unused `khash_context` structure. |
|
|
| ~khash_free_context~ | /ctx/ | Free a context allocated with ~khash_new_context()~. /ctx/ is expected to be a valid pointer to a currently allocated context. |
|
|
| ~khash_clone_context~ | /src/, /dst/ | Clone a context allocated with ~khash_new_context()~ into another. The newly allocated /dst/ must be properly released (with ~khash_free_context()~ or ~khash_do()~) as well as the source. /src/ is expected to be a valid pointer to an allocated context, and /dst/ is expected to be a valid pointer to an unallocated context. |
|
|
| ~khash_length~ | /ctx/, /data/, /size/, /length/ | Compute the length required to hold the output string for ~khash_do()~ for a given input. Will read exactly /size/ bytes from /data/ and compute the value into what is pointed to by /length/ (which is expected to be a valid pointer to a type of ~size_t~.) The resulting length does not include a =NUL= terminator for the string. |
|
|
| ~khash_do~ | /ctx/, /data/, /size/, /output/, /output_size/ | Compute the kana-hash of /size/ bytes from /data/ and store no more than /output_size/ of the the result into the string pointed to by /output/. Each pointer is expected to be valid. This function frees the supplied /ctx/ after the hash has been computed, and thus /ctx/ is no longer valid afterwards. |
|
|
| ~khash_max_length~ | /algo/, /input_len/, /output_len/ | Calculate the max possible size for the given algorithm (expected to be one of the =KHASH_ALGO_= macros) and input length, and store this result in /output_len/ (expected to be a valid non-~NULL~ pointer.) /input_len/ is not required unless the algorithm is dynamically sized (all currently implemented ones are not.) |

** Node FFI bindings
|
|
NPM package in [[file:./node/index.js][./node]]
|
|
|
|
*** Installation (npm)
|
|
Follow the [[installation]] section first.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
|
|
$ npm install --save /path/to/repo/node
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Examples
|
|
|
|
**** Import the package
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const hash = require('kana-hash');
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
**** Create a context
|
|
Create the context by specifying an algorithm identifier, and an optional salt.
|
|
If provided, the salt must be of type ~Salt~.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const ctx = new hash.Kana(hash.Kana.ALGO_DEFAULT, new hash.Salt("optional salt~"));
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
**** Create a hash
|
|
The ~once()~ function consumes the context and outputs a hash string.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const output = ctx.once("input string");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
***** Creating a hash without consuming
|
|
If you want to reuse the context, use the ~hash()~ function.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const output = ctx.hash("input string");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
***** Freeing the context
|
|
The context must be release after use if you have not called ~once()~.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
ctx.finish();
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
***** Cloning an existing context
|
|
The new context must also be freed with either ~once()~ or ~finish()~.
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const new_ctx = ctx.clone();
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
**** Alternatively
|
|
To create a hash in one line you can do one of the following.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
const hash1 = new Kana(Kana.ALGO_DEFAULT, new Salt("salt~")).once("input string~"); //Allocates the exact space required for the output string.
|
|
const hash2 = Kana.single(Kana.ALGO_DEFAULT, new Salt("salt~")).once("input string~"); //Allocates the max space required for the output string, instead of the exact. Might be faster.
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Interface documentation
|
|
The 2 exported objects are ~Kana~ and ~Salt~. ~Kana~'s constructor expects between 0 and 2 arguments. + The first is either an [[Defined constants][algorithm definition]] or empty, if empty ~Kana~ uses the default algorithm (truncated SHA256).
|
|
+ The second is either an instance of ~Salt~ or empty, if empty ~Kana~ uses the default library salt. ~Salt~'s constructor expects 0 or 1 argument. + Either a string to use as the specific salt or empty, if empty there is no salt.
|
|
~Kana~ also has a static function ~single(algo, salt, input)~ which automatically creates a context, computes the hash, frees the context, and then returns the computed hash as a JavaScript string.

** Notes
|
|
The strings generated by this library are meant to be pretty, not secure. It is not a secure way of representing a hash as many collisions are possible.
|
|
|
|
*** Digest algorithm
|
|
The kana algorithm is a 16-bit block digest that works as follows:
|
|
- The most and least significant 8 bits are each seperated into /Stage 0/ and /Stage 1/ each operating on the first and second byte respectively.
|
|
- Stage 0:
|
|
1. The byte is sign tested (bitwise ~AND~ =0x80=), store this as a boolean in /sign0/.
|
|
2. The valid first character range is looked up using the result of the sign test (either 0 or 1), store the range in /range/, and the slice ~KANA~ taken from the range in /kana/.
|
|
3. The first index is calculated as the unsigned first byte modulo the size (exclusive) of /range/. Store this as /index0/.
|
|
4. The swap table is checked to see if /index0/ has an entry. Then each following step is checked in order:
|
|
+ If the swap entry exists and the first byte bitwise ~AND~ =0x2= is not 0, set the first character of the output to the value found in the swap table. + If the swap entry exists and the first byte bitwise ~AND~ =0x8= is not 0 and the index has an entry in the 2nd swap table, set the first character of the output to the value found in the 2nd swap table.
|
|
+ In any other case, set the first character of the output to the value found in the /kana/ slice at the /index/.
|
|
- Stage 1:
|
|
1. Compute a sub table for /index/ plus the start of /range/ using the ranges defined in ~KANA_SUB_VALID_FOR~ and store it in /sub/. If there is no sub table possible, skip to step 3.
|
|
2. If there is an entry in /sub/ for the index of the 2nd byte modulo the size of ~KANA_SUB~, set the second output character to be that character.
|
|
3. If there was no value set from the sub table, the 2nd output character becomes the first output character from inputting the 2nd byte back through /Stage 0/ as the first byte.
|
|
- Concatenate both characters and move to the next 16-bit block.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- It is valid for a single iterator to produce between 0 and 2 characters but no more.
|
|
- If an input given to the algorithm that cannot be divided exactly into 16-bit blocks (i.e. one byte is left over), a padding byte of 0 is added as the 2nd byte to make it fit.
