[out]	digest	the computed hmac-sha256, length MUST be SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH

◆ hmac_sha256_init()

void hmac_sha256_init	(	hmac_context_t *	ctx,
		const void *	key,

hmac_sha256_init HMAC SHA-256 calculation.

Initiate calculation of a HMAC

Parameters

[in]	key	key used in the hmac-sha256 computation
[in]	key_length	the size in bytes of the key

◆ hmac_sha256_update()

void hmac_sha256_update	(	hmac_context_t *	ctx,
		const void *	data,
		size_t	len )

hmac_sha256_update Add data bytes for HMAC calculation

Parameters

[in]	ctx	hmac_context_t handle to use
[in]	data	pointer to the buffer to generate hash from
[in]	len	length of the buffer

◆ sha256()

void sha256	(	const void *	data,
		size_t	len,
		void *	digest )

A wrapper function to simplify the generation of a hash, this is useful for generating sha256 for one buffer.

Parameters

[in]	data	pointer to the buffer to generate hash from
[in]	len	length of the buffer
[out]	digest	Pointer to an array for the result, length must be SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH

◆ sha256_chain()

void * sha256_chain	(	const void *	seed,
		size_t	seed_length,
		size_t	elements,
		void *	tail_element )

function to produce a hash chain starting with a given seed element.

The chain is computed by taking the sha256 from the seed, hash the resulting sha256 and continuing taking sha256 from each result consecutively.

Parameters

[in]	seed	the seed of the sha256-chain, i.e. the first element
[in]	seed_length	the size of seed in bytes
[in]	elements	the number of chained elements, i.e. the index of the last element is (elements-1)
[out]	tail_element	the final element of the sha256-chain

Returns: pointer to tail_element

◆ sha256_chain_verify_element()

int sha256_chain_verify_element	(	void *	element,
		size_t	element_index,
		void *	tail_element,
		size_t	chain_length )

function to verify if a given chain element is part of the chain.

Parameters

[in]	element	the chain element to be verified
[in]	element_index	the position in the chain
[in]	tail_element	the last element of the sha256-chain
[in]	chain_length	the number of elements in the chain

Returns: 0 if element is verified to be part of the chain at element_index 1 if the element cannot be verified as part of the chain

◆ sha256_chain_with_waypoints()

void * sha256_chain_with_waypoints	(	const void *	seed,
		size_t	seed_length,
		size_t	elements,
		void *	tail_element,
		sha256_chain_idx_elm_t *	waypoints,
		size_t *	waypoints_length )

function to produce a hash chain starting with a given seed element.

The chain is computed the same way as done with sha256_chain(). Additionally intermediate elements are saved while computing the chain. This slows down computation, but provides the caller with indexed "waypoint"-elements. They are supposed to shortcut computing verification elements, this comes in handy when using long chains, e.g. a chain with 2³² elements.

Parameters

[in]	seed	the seed of the sha256-chain, i.e. the first element
[in]	seed_length	the size of seed in bytes
[in]	elements	the number of chained elements, i.e. the index of the last element is (elements-1)
[out]	tail_element	the final element of the sha256-chain
[out]	waypoints	intermediate elements are stored there.
[in,out]	waypoints_length	the size of the waypoints array. If the given size is equal or greater elements, the complete chain will be stored. Otherwise every n-th element is stored where: n = floor(elements / waypoints_length); floor is implicitly used since we perform unsigned integer division. The last used waypoint index is stored in the variable after call. That is (elements - 1) if the complete chain is stored, and (*waypoints_length - 1) if we only store some waypoints.

Returns: pointer to tail_element

◆ sha256_final()

static void sha256_final	(	sha256_context_t *	ctx,
		void *	digest )

inlinestatic

Pads the input data, exports the hash value, and clears the context state.

Parameters

ctx	sha256_context_t handle to use
digest	resulting digest, this is the hash of all the bytes

◆ sha256_init()

void sha256_init ( sha256_context_t * ctx )

SHA-256 initialization.

Begins a SHA-256 operation.

Parameters

ctx	sha256_context_t handle to init

◆ sha256_update()

		const void *	data,
		size_t	len )

inlinestatic

Add bytes into the hash.

Parameters
