New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com>:
in shamodule.c, the digest() method just creates a simple bytes string of the digest. The digest is stored as an array of 32 bit integers in the native representation. Therefore, the digest will be different on big- and little-endian machines. The specification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1) suggest that the digest should actually be big endian, so the standard implementation on most home machines is actually wrong Actually, looking at the code, hexdigest() has the same problem! ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 121268 nosy: krisvale priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: _sha.sha().digest() method is endian-sensitive. and hexdigest() type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
