Features

Adapts NSOutputStream's API for use to generate SHA1 digests.

Also provides convenience methods for:

• Directly hashing a lump of data: -[NSData ks_SHA1Digest].
• Hashing the contents of a URL, even a remote one: +SHA1DigestOfContentsOfURL:
• Converting a digest into a hexadecimal string representation: +ks_stringFromSHA1Digest:

Usage

1. Add KSSHA1Stream.h and KSSHA1Stream.m to your project. Ideally, make this repo a submodule, but hey, it's your codebase, do whatever you feel like.
2. Link against CommonCrypto

To hash a stream of data:

1. [[KSSHA1Stream alloc] init]
2. Call -write:maxLength: as your data arrives. KSSHA1Stream promises to always process all bytes passed to it
3. Call -close on the stream
4. Retrieve the result using the SHA1Digest property
