botan

A wrapper for the Botan cryptography library

Supported

This library offers full bindings for everything exposed by Botan's FFI. Wrappers for hashing algorithms have been added to match the API within the Odin core:crypto library.

High level API

Each hash algorithm contains a procedure group named hash, or if the algorithm provides more than one digest size hash_<size>. Included in these groups are six procedures.

• hash_string - Hash a given string and return the computed hash. Just calls hash_bytes internally
• hash_bytes - Hash a given byte slice and return the computed hash
• hash_string_to_buffer - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. Just calls hash_bytes_to_buffer internally
• hash_bytes_to_buffer - Hash a given string and put the computed hash in the second proc parameter. The destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
• hash_stream - Takes a stream from io.Stream and returns the computed hash from it
• hash_file - Takes a file handle and returns the computed hash from it. A second optional boolean parameter controls if the file is streamed (this is the default) or read at once (set to true)

Low level API

The above mentioned procedures internally call three procedures: init, update and final. You may also directly call them, if you wish.

Example

package crypto_example

// Import the desired package
import "vendor:botan/blake2b"

main :: proc() {
    input := "foo"

    // Compute the hash, using the high level API
    computed_hash := blake2b.hash(input)

    // Variant that takes a destination buffer, instead of returning the computed hash
    hash := make([]byte, blake2b.DIGEST_SIZE) // @note: Destination buffer has to be at least as big as the digest size of the hash
    blake2b.hash(input, hash[:])

    // Compute the hash, using the low level API
    // @note: Botan's structs are opaque by design, they don't expose any fields
    ctx: blake2b.Context
    computed_hash_low: [blake2b.DIGEST_SIZE]byte
    blake2b.init(&ctx)
    blake2b.update(&ctx, transmute([]byte)input)
    blake2b.final(&ctx, computed_hash_low[:])
}

For example uses of all available algorithms, please see the tests within tests/vendor/botan.
