csiphash 0.0.5

Installation

You can get this library with pip:

pip install csiphash

Usage

Currently there’s just a single function, siphash24(), that accepts a secret key bytestring of length 16 and an arbitrary length bytestring for the message, and returns an 8-byte digest bytestring:

>>> from csiphash import siphash24
>>> siphash24(b'\x00' * 16, b'hello, world!\n')
b'\xf1G4\x95\xa5\xaa\xc2b'

If you want to specify keys in hexadecimal, use .decode('hex'):

>>> siphash24('abcdef01234567899876543210fedcba'.decode('hex'), b'hello, world!\n')
'\xd3\xd4N\x1dk\x1f$='

If you want digests in hexadecimal, use .encode('hex'):

>>> siphash24(b'\x00' * 16, b'hello, world!\n').encode('hex')
'f1473495a5aac262'
