Hello!
I'm pleased to announce the first version of the skein package [1]!
Skein is a family of fast secure cryptographic hash functions [2].
The skein package provides high-level bindings (using crypto-api [3])
to the optimized Skein C library. Currently we support Skein as a
hash function and also Skein as a message authentication code (MAC).
The code is well-documented with examples and has many known answer
tests (KATs). It currently lives on patch-tag [4].
Hackage will be build the docs soon enough. Meanwhile, here's a short example:
Hi Felipe,
it's good to see more Skein stuff. it's a great crypto hash and one of the few
remaining candidate for SHA-3.
Have you seen the cryptohash package
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cryptohash ?
I always wanted to expose more skein operations specially the hmac function, but
never came around to, and maybe it would be good to merge to avoid duplicating
efforts ?
