New submission from Christian Heimes: SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 are truncated versions of SHA512. Just like SHA384 they use the same algorithm but different initial values and a smaller digest. I took the start vectors and test values from libtomcrypt.
Like in my blake2 branch I have add tp_new to the types and removed the old factory methods. Now it is possible to instantiate the types. The code is also in my github fork https://github.com/tiran/cpython/tree/feature/sha512truncated ---------- components: Extension Modules files: cpython-cheimes-0001-Add-truncate-SHA512-224-and-SHA512-256-hash-algorith.patch keywords: patch messages: 264068 nosy: christian.heimes, gregory.p.smith priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Add truncated SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42578/cpython-cheimes-0001-Add-truncate-SHA512-224-and-SHA512-256-hash-algorith.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26834> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
