Field Documentation

begin

iqr_retval(* begin) (void *state)

Begin a hashing operation.

Called when hashing is about to begin. If the algorithm needs state, begin() must allocate and initialize the state data.

Parameters

[in]

state

Hash state, maintained by the implementation.

Returns

IQR_OK or a suitable error value.

cleanup

iqr_retval(* cleanup) (void **state)

Clean up the Hash.

Perform any clean up required before the Hash is destroyed, including clearing and deallocating any state.

If cleanup() returns an error value, the Hash object will be cleared and deallocated; be sure that your cleanup() deallocates any memory allocated by your initialize().

Parameters

[in,out]

state

Hash state, maintained by the implementation.

Returns

IQR_OK or a suitable error value.

end

iqr_retval(* end) (void *state, uint8_t *digest, size_t digest_size)

End the hashing operation and retrieve the digest.

Called to finalize hashing and retrieve the digest. The digest and size parameters are optional and can be NULL.

Parameters

[in]	state	Hash state, maintained by the implementation.
[out]	digest	A buffer to receive the digest.
[in]	digest_size	The size of digest in bytes. Must be exactly the size returned by iqr_HashGetDigestSize().

Returns

IQR_OK or a suitable error value.

initialize

iqr_retval(* initialize) (void **state)

Initialize the Hash.

Called to initialize the Hash object. Allocate any necessary state here.

If initialize() returns an error value, the call to iqr_HashCreate() will return the failure value without allocating memory.

Parameters

[out]

state

Pointer to Hash state, maintained by the implementation.

Returns

IQR_OK or a suitable error value.

update

iqr_retval(* update) (void *state, const uint8_t *buf, size_t buf_size)

Add data to the hashing operation.

Called when data needs to be hashed.

Parameters

[in]	state	Hash state.
[in]	buf	A buffer containing bytes to hash.
[in]	buf_size	The size of buf in bytes.

Returns

IQR_OK or a suitable error value.

Detailed Description

Callbacks required for Hash implementations.

You can supply your own hash algorithm by implementing these functions; for example, you could take advantage of OpenSSL's hand-tuned assembly versions. See the Developer's Guide (online: Toolkit edition, or Signature edition) for details.
