Hi, I want to propose a wrapper around MessageDigest to provide a simple way to generate digests.
The following proposal includes a multimethods digest, which operates either on strings or on arrays of bytes. I think digests are usuall used with strings. To expose the byte array api from java's message digest class I used multimethods. Other multimethods do not exists, as I think it doesn't make much sense to define digest on something like integers or sequences. The function digest-to-str returns a typical string representation. The available algorithms correspond to the algorithms that are available using MessageDigest. The code can be found here: http://github.com/dsp/clojure-contrib/commit/77c9f7dbe071d90bf6cb385db4859e76d5e8ff19 A typical example would be: (digest-to-str (digest "hello world" :algorithm "SHA-1")) I'm open for suggestions, as I'm new to clojure and the API might not be perfectly suited for clojure. - David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
