The algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160\-bit \&\*(L"fingerprint\*(R" or \*(L"message digest\*(R" of the input. .PP In 2005, security flaws were identified in \s-1SHA\-1\s0, namely that a possible mathematical weakness might exist, indicating that a stronger hash function would be desirable. The Digest::SHA module implements the stronger algorithms in the \s-1SHA\s0 family. .PP The \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR module provide a procedural interface for simple use, as well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages of arbitrary length and which can read files directly. .SH "FUNCTIONS" .IX Header "FUNCTIONS" The following functions can be exported from the \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR module. No functions are exported by default. .IP "sha1($data,...)" 4 .IX Item "sha1($data,...)" This function will concatenate all arguments, calculate the \s-1SHA\-1\s0 digest of this \*(L"message\*(R", and return it in binary form. The returned string will be 20 bytes long. .Sp The result of sha1(\*(L"a\*(R", \*(L"b\*(R", \*(L"c\*(R") will be exactly the same as the result of sha1(\*(L"abc\*(R"). .IP "sha1_hex($data,...)" 4 .IX Item "sha1_hex($data,...)" Same as \fIsha1()\fR, but will return the digest in hexadecimal form. The length of the returned string will be 40 and it will only contain characters from this set: '0'..'9' and 'a'..'f'. .IP "sha1_base64($data,...)" 4 .IX Item "sha1_base64($data,...)" Same as \fIsha1()\fR, but will return the digest as a base64 encoded string. The length of the returned string will be 27 and it will only contain characters from this set: 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z', '0'..'9', '+' and \&'/'. .Sp Note that the base64 encoded string returned is not padded to be a multiple of 4 bytes long. If you want interoperability with other base64 encoded sha1 digests you might want to append the redundant string \*(L"=\*(R" to the result. .IP "sha1_transform($data)" 4 .IX Item "sha1_transform($data)" Implements the basic \s-1SHA1\s0 transform on a 64 byte block. The \f(CW$data\fR argument and the returned \f(CW$digest\fR are in binary form. This algorithm is used in \s-1NIST\s0 \s-1FIPS\s0 186\-2 .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" The object oriented interface to \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR is described in this section. After a \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR object has been created, you will add data to it and finally ask for the digest in a suitable format. A single object can be used to calculate multiple digests. .PP The following methods are provided: .ie n .IP "$sha1 = Digest::SHA1\->new" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR = Digest::SHA1\->new" 4 .IX Item "$sha1 = Digest::SHA1->new" The constructor returns a new \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR object which encapsulate the state of the \s-1SHA\-1\s0 message-digest algorithm. .Sp If called as an instance method (i.e. \f(CW$sha1\fR\->new) it will just reset the state the object to the state of a newly created object. No new object is created in this case. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->reset" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->reset" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->reset" This is just an alias for \f(CW$sha1\fR\->new. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->clone" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->clone" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->clone" This a copy of the \f(CW$sha1\fR object. It is useful when you do not want to destroy the digests state, but need an intermediate value of the digest, e.g. when calculating digests iteratively on a continuous data stream. Example: .Sp .Vb 5 \& my $sha1 = Digest::SHA1\->new; \& while (<>) { \& $sha1\->add($_); \& print "Line $.: ", $sha1\->clone\->hexdigest, "\en"; \& } .Ve .ie n .IP "$sha1\->add($data,...)" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->add($data,...)" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->add($data,...)" The \f(CW$data\fR provided as argument are appended to the message we calculate the digest for. The return value is the \f(CW$sha1\fR object itself. .Sp All these lines will have the same effect on the state of the \f(CW$sha1\fR object: .Sp .Vb 4 \& $sha1\->add("a"); $sha1\->add("b"); $sha1\->add("c"); \& $sha1\->add("a")\->add("b")\->add("c"); \& $sha1\->add("a", "b", "c"); \& $sha1\->add("abc"); .Ve .ie n .IP "$sha1\->addfile($io_handle)" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->addfile($io_handle)" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->addfile($io_handle)" The \f(CW$io_handle\fR will be read until \s-1EOF\s0 and its content appended to the message we calculate the digest for. The return value is the \f(CW$sha1\fR object itself. .Sp The \fIaddfile()\fR method will \fIcroak()\fR if it fails reading data for some reason. If it croaks it is unpredictable what the state of the \f(CW$sha1\fR object will be in. The \fIaddfile()\fR method might have been able to read the file partially before it failed. It is probably wise to discard or reset the \f(CW$sha1\fR object if this occurs. .Sp In most cases you want to make sure that the \f(CW$io_handle\fR is in \&\f(CW\*(C`binmode\*(C'\fR before you pass it as argument to the \fIaddfile()\fR method. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->add_bits($data, $nbits)" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->add_bits($data, \f(CW$nbits\fR)" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->add_bits($data, $nbits)" .PD 0 .ie n .IP "$sha1\->add_bits($bitstring)" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->add_bits($bitstring)" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->add_bits($bitstring)" .PD This implementation of \s-1SHA\-1\s0 only supports byte oriented input so you might only add bits as multiples of 8. If you need bit level support please consider using the \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA\*(C'\fR module instead. The \&\fIadd_bits()\fR method is provided here for compatibility with other digest implementations. See Digest for description of the arguments that \&\fIadd_bits()\fR take. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->digest" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->digest" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->digest" Return the binary digest for the message. The returned string will be 20 bytes long. .Sp Note that the \f(CW\*(C`digest\*(C'\fR operation is effectively a destructive, read-once operation. Once it has been performed, the \f(CW\*(C`Digest::SHA1\*(C'\fR object is automatically \f(CW\*(C`reset\*(C'\fR and can be used to calculate another digest value. Call \f(CW$sha1\fR\->clone\->digest if you want to calculate the digest without reseting the digest state. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->hexdigest" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->hexdigest" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->hexdigest" Same as \f(CW$sha1\fR\->digest, but will return the digest in hexadecimal form. The length of the returned string will be 40 and it will only contain characters from this set: '0'..'9' and 'a'..'f'. .ie n .IP "$sha1\->b64digest" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW$sha1\fR\->b64digest" 4 .IX Item "$sha1->b64digest" Same as \f(CW$sha1\fR\->digest, but will return the digest as a base64 encoded string. The length of the returned string will be 27 and it will only contain characters from this set: 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z', '0'..'9', '+' and '/'. .Sp The base64 encoded string returned is not padded to be a multiple of 4 bytes long. If you want interoperability with other base64 encoded \&\s-1SHA\-1\s0 digests you might want to append the string \*(L"=\*(R" to the result. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Digest, Digest::HMAC_SHA1, Digest::SHA, Digest::MD5 .PP http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180\-1.htm .PP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA_hash_functions .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. .PP .Vb 2 \& Copyright 1999\-2004 Gisle Aas. \& Copyright 1997 Uwe Hollerbach. .Ve .SH "AUTHORS" .IX Header "AUTHORS" Peter C.
