NAME

Digest::CubeHash::XS - Perl interface to the CubeHash digest algorithm

SYNOPSIS

# Functional interface
use Digest::CubeHash::XS qw(
    cubehash_256 cubehash_256_hex cubehash_256_base64
);

$digest = cubehash_256($data);
$digest = cubehash_256_hex($data);
$digest = cubehash_256_base64($data);

# Object-oriented interface
use Digest::CubeHash::XS;

$ctx = Digest::CubeHash::XS->new(256);

$ctx->add($data);
$ctx->addfile(*FILE);

$digest = $ctx->digest;
$digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
$digest = $ctx->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION

The Digest::CubeHash::XS module provides an interface to the CubeHash message digest algorithm. CubeHash was a candidate in the NIST SHA-3 competition but did progress beyond round 2.

This interface follows the conventions set forth by the Digest module.

FUNCTIONS

The following functions are provided by the Digest::CubeHash::XS module. None of these functions are exported by default.

cubehash_224($data, ...)

cubehash_256($data, ...)

cubehash_384($data, ...)

cubehash_512($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its CubeHash digest encoded as a binary string.

cubehash_224_hex($data, ...)

cubehash_256_hex($data, ...)

cubehash_384_hex($data, ...)

cubehash_512_hex($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its CubeHash digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

cubehash_224_base64($data, ...)

cubehash_256_base64($data, ...)

cubehash_384_base64($data, ...)

cubehash_512_base64($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its CubeHash digest encoded as a Base64 string, without any trailing padding.

METHODS

The object-oriented interface to Digest::CubeHash::XS is identical to that described by Digest, except for the following:

new

$cubehash = Digest::CubeHash::XS->new(256)

The constructor requires the algorithm to be specified. It must be one of: 224, 256, 384, 512.

algorithm

hashsize

Returns the algorithm used by the object.
