NAME

Digest::SHAvite3 - Perl interface to the SHAvite-3 digest algorithm

SYNOPSIS

# Functional interface
use Digest::SHAvite3 qw(
    shavite3_256 shavite3_256_hex shavite3_256_base64
);

$digest = shavite3_256($data);
$digest = shavite3_256_hex($data);
$digest = shavite3_256_base64($data);

# Object-oriented interface
use Digest::SHAvite3;

$ctx = Digest::SHAvite3->new(256);

$ctx->add($data);
$ctx->addfile(*FILE);

$digest = $ctx->digest;
$digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
$digest = $ctx->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION

The Digest::SHAvite3 module provides an interface to the SHAvite3 message digest algorithm. SHAvite-3 is a candidate in the NIST SHA-3 competition.

This interface follows the conventions set forth by the Digest module.

FUNCTIONS

The following functions are provided by the Digest::SHAvite3 module. None of these functions are exported by default.

shavite3_224($data, ...)

shavite3_256($data, ...)

shavite3_384($data, ...)

shavite3_512($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its SHAvite3 digest encoded as a binary string.

shavite3_224_hex($data, ...)

shavite3_256_hex($data, ...)

shavite3_384_hex($data, ...)

shavite3_512_hex($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its SHAvite3 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

shavite3_224_base64($data, ...)

shavite3_256_base64($data, ...)

shavite3_384_base64($data, ...)

shavite3_512_base64($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its SHAvite3 digest encoded as a Base64 string, without any trailing padding.

METHODS

The object-oriented interface to Digest::SHAvite3 is identical to that described by Digest, except for the following:

new

$shavite3 = Digest::SHAvite3->new(256)

The constructor requires the algorithm to be specified. It must be one of: 224, 256, 384, 512.

algorithm

hashsize

Returns the algorithm used by the object.
