rv Is a New Rust-Powered Ruby Version Manager Inspired by Python's uv
Ruby maintainers from Bundler and rbenv teams are building rv to bring Python uv's speed and unified tooling approach to Ruby development.
This Ruby extension implements the SHA-3 (Keccak) cryptographic hashing algorithm. It is based on the reference C implementation, version 3.2. The exposed interface is almost identical to that of the digest
standard library.
gem install digest-sha3
Note: as of version 1.1.0, digest-sha3 requires Ruby 2.2. The last version that worked on older versions was 1.0.2.
Keccak supports 5 hash lengths: 224-bit, 256-bit, 384-bit, 512-bit and variable length. Variable length is not supported by this Ruby extension. Unless the user specifies otherwise, this Ruby extension assumes 512-bit.
require 'digest/sha3'
# Generate 512-bit digest.
Digest::SHA3.digest("foo") # => "\025\227\204*..."
Digest::SHA3.hexdigest("foo") # => "1597842a..."
# Generate 224-bit digest.
Digest::SHA3.digest("foo", 224) # => "\332\251M\247..."
Digest::SHA3.hexdigest("foo", 224) # => "daa94da7..."
# Use this interface to feed data in chunks. 512-bit by default.
digest = Digest::SHA3.new
digest.update("f")
digest.update("o")
digest.update("o")
digest.digest # => "\025\227\204*..."
digest.hexdigest # => "1597842a..."
# You can pass a hash length to the constructor.
digest = Digest::SHA3.new(224)
Run the test suite as follows:
make test
A part of the test suite is automatically generated from Keccak's reference test suite.
Do not use SHA-3 for hashing passwords. Do not even use SHA-3 + salt for hashing passowords. Use a slow hash instead.
