rigel

About

rigel is a minimal implementation of HMAC with SHA512. rigel minimizes the amount of allocations made, while still upholding performance speed.

Rust nightly

rigel requires Rust nightly.

Security

This library has at no point received any formal cryptographic/security audit. It should be used at own risk.

Example

One-shot API:

extern crate rigel;

let mac = rigel::hmac_sha512("Secret key".as_bytes(), "Message".as_bytes());

assert!(rigel::verify(&mac, "Secret key".as_bytes(), "Message".as_bytes()));

Streaming API:

extern crate rigel;

let mut mac = rigel::init("Secret key".as_bytes());
mac.update("Message".as_bytes());
let res = mac.finalize();
assert!(mac.verify(&res, "Secret key".as_bytes(), "Message".as_bytes()));

let mut mac_out = [0u8; 64];
mac.reset();
mac.update("Other message".as_bytes());
mac.finalize_with_dst(&mut mac_out);
