Fast and easy-to-use Message Digest, Checksum and HMAC library for Clojure

pandect

pandect is a fast and easy-to-use Message Digest, Checksum and HMAC library for Clojure.

Usage

Leiningen (via Clojars)

REPL

(require '[pandect.algo.sha1 :refer :all]
         '[clojure.java.io :as io])

(sha1 "Hello World!")           ;; => "2ef7bde608ce5404e97d5f042f95f89f1c232871"
(sha1-bytes "Hello World!")     ;; => #<byte[] [B@5293b95>
(sha1 (io/file "project.clj"))  ;; => "ff3b4565652aeb835edf2715b2a28586929ea4cc"
(sha1-file "project.clj")       ;; => "ff3b4565652aeb835edf2715b2a28586929ea4cc"
(sha1-file-bytes "project.clj") ;; => #<byte[] [B@e2606c7>

(sha1-hmac "Hello World!" "secret-key")       ;; => "399fc3d94f6df2213f92fcf2a8b6669279ef7d20"
(sha1-hmac-bytes "Hello World!" "secret-key") ;; => #<byte[] [B@602bd522>

You can tune stream processing using pandect.buffer/with-buffer-size (default is 2KB):

(require '[pandect.buffer :refer [with-buffer-size]])

(with-open [in (io/input-stream "shootout/data/1mb.txt")]
  (with-buffer-size (* 512 1024)
    (sha256 in)))

If you want to hash a String using a specific encoding, you should create the respective byte array manually:

(sha1 "Hällo World!")                          ;; => "f19c05a67c3d0f297b62e868657cf177913ce02a"
(sha1 (.getBytes "Hällo World!" "ISO-8859-1")) ;; => "cfe670bd6845020f5754b19a3c0eee602043eb89"

The namespace pandect.core contains all available algorithms but for better startup/compile times, using algorithm-specific ones is recommended.

Supported Algorithms

See the generated documentation for the available functions and their parameters.

Checksum	MDx	SHA	SHA-3	RIPEMD	Others

CRC-32*	MD4	SHA-256	SHA3-256	RIPEMD-160	SipHash-4-8+

Benchmarks

You can run benchmarks on the following Message Digest implementations:

• pandect (obviously)
• clj-digest 1.4.3
• clj-message-digest 1.0.0

Use the following command:

lein benchmark {pandect|clj-digest|clj-message-digest}\
               {--md2|--md5|--sha1|--sha256|--sha384|--sha512}\
               [--file <Path>]

If a file is supplied a benchmark will be run hashing its contents; if no file is given, the simple string "Hello, World!" will be hashed.

Benchmark Results

Benchmarks are run using Criterium on an Intel Core i7 2.7GHz/8GB RAM machine with Oracle JDK 1.7.0u67 (64-bit).

Results obtained using pandect 0.5.0.
