sha256bit 0.0.6

SHA256 with bit granularity for message input length

sha256bit

Pure python implementation of SHA256 with features which are often lacking:

• bit granularity for message input length
• import/export API to "persist" the state in the middle of a hash computation

Installation

python3 -m pip install sha256bit

Usage

One liner

>>> from sha256bit import sha256bit
>>> sha256bit("abc".encode()).hexdigest()
'ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad'

Bit length capability

>>> from sha256bit import sha256bit
>>> sha256bit(b'\x00',bitlen=1).hexdigest()
'bd4f9e98beb68c6ead3243b1b4c7fed75fa4feaab1f84795cbd8a98676a2a375'

Import/export

>>> from sha256bit import sha256bit
>>> h1 = sha256bit("a".encode())
>>> state = h1.export_state()
>>> h2 = sha256bit.import_state(state)
>>> h2.update("bc".encode())
>>> h2.hexdigest()
'ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad'
