BIS512 - Custom 512-bit Cryptographic Hash Function

Author: Biswajit Saha

A secure, ASIC-resistant hash function designed for blockchain applications.

Features

• ✅ 512-bit output (128 hex characters)
• ✅ ASIC-resistant - Fair CPU/GPU mining
• ✅ Strong avalanche effect (49.7% bit change)
• ✅ No collisions detected in 5000+ tests
• ✅ Pure Python - Works everywhere, no compiler needed
• ✅ Fast enough for blockchain applications

User Guide for BIS512 Hash Function

📦 Installation

pip install bis512

🚀 Basic Usage

# Import the hash function
from bis512 import hash_string, hash_bytes, hash_hex

# Method 1: Hash a string (returns hex string)
hash_value = hash_string("Hello, World!")
print(hash_value)
# Output: 128-character hexadecimal string

# Method 2: Hash bytes (returns bytes)
data = b"Blockchain data"
hash_bytes_result = hash_bytes(data)

# Method 3: Hash bytes and get hex
hex_result = hash_hex(b"Any input data")

💡 Quick Examples

from bis512 import hash

# Hash a simple message
print(hash("hello"))

# Hash a number
print(hash(str(12345)))

# Hash in a loop
for i in range(5):
    print(hash(f"message_{i}"))

# Hash from file
with open("myfile.txt", "rb") as f:
    file_hash = hash(f.read().decode())
    print(file_hash)

🔗 For Blockchain Applications

from bis512 import hash

# Block header hashing
def hash_block(previous_hash, transactions, nonce):
    block_data = f"{previous_hash}{transactions}{nonce}"
    return hash(block_data)

# Merkle tree hashing
def merkle_root(transactions):
    if len(transactions) == 1:
        return hash(transactions[0])
    
    new_level = []
    for i in range(0, len(transactions), 2):
        left = transactions[i]
        right = transactions[i+1] if i+1 < len(transactions) else left
        combined = left + right
        new_level.append(hash(combined))
    
    return merkle_root(new_level)

# Transaction hashing
def hash_transaction(sender, receiver, amount, timestamp):
    tx_data = f"{sender}{receiver}{amount}{timestamp}"
    return hash(tx_data)

🏗️ Mining Example

from bis512 import hash

def mine_block(previous_hash, transactions, difficulty):
    nonce = 0
    target = "0" * difficulty
    
    while True:
        block_data = f"{previous_hash}{transactions}{nonce}"
        block_hash = hash(block_data)
        
        if block_hash[:difficulty] == target:
            return nonce, block_hash
        nonce += 1

# Mine with difficulty 4
nonce, block_hash = mine_block("previous_hash_here", "transactions_data", 4)
print(f"Mined! Nonce: {nonce}, Hash: {block_hash}")

📝 Command Line Usage

# Quick hash from terminal
python -c "from bis512 import hash; print(hash('hello'))"

# Hash from file content
python -c "from bis512 import hash; print(hash(open('file.txt').read()))"

# Hash multiple inputs
python -c "from bis512 import hash; [print(hash(f'input_{i}')) for i in range(10)]"

🔐 Password Hashing Example

from bis512 import hash
import getpass

# Simple password hashing
password = getpass.getpass("Enter password: ")
password_hash = hash(password)
print(f"Password hash: {password_hash}")

# Verify password
def verify_password(input_password, stored_hash):
    return hash(input_password) == stored_hash

# Usage
stored = hash("mysecret123")
is_valid = verify_password("mysecret123", stored)
print(f"Password valid: {is_valid}")

📊 Performance Testing

from bis512 import hash
import time

# Test speed
start = time.time()
for i in range(100):
    hash(f"test_message_{i}")
end = time.time()

print(f"100 hashes in {end-start:.2f} seconds")
print(f"Speed: {100/(end-start):.0f} hashes/second")

🧪 Testing Different Inputs

from bis512 import hash

test_inputs = [
    "a",
    "aa", 
    "aaa",
    "Hello World",
    "Blockchain Technology",
    "1234567890",
    "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
]

for inp in test_inputs:
    h = hash(inp)
    print(f"Input: {inp:40} -> Hash: {h[:16]}...")

⚠️ Important Notes

1. Output is always 128 hex characters (512 bits)
2. Same input always produces same hash
3. Different inputs produce completely different hashes
4. Pure Python - no external dependencies

✅ Quick Test

from bis512 import hash

# Test if working correctly
test_hash = hash("test")
print(f"Hash length: {len(test_hash)} characters")
print(f"Is 128 chars? {len(test_hash) == 128}")
print(f"First 16 chars: {test_hash[:16]}...")
