Functions

Name
int wc_InitRipeMd(RipeMd * )
This function initializes a ripemd structure by initializing ripemd’s digest, buffer, loLen and hiLen.
int wc_RipeMdUpdate(RipeMd * ripemd, const byte * data, word32 len)
This function generates the RipeMd digest of the data input and stores the result in the ripemd->digest buffer. After running wc_RipeMdUpdate, one should compare the generated ripemd->digest to a known authentication tag to verify the authenticity of a message.
int wc_RipeMdFinal(RipeMd * ripemd, byte * hash)
This function copies the computed digest into hash. If there is a partial unhashed block, this method will pad the block with 0s, and include that block’s round in the digest before copying to hash. State of ripemd is reset.

Functions Documentation

function wc_InitRipeMd

int wc_InitRipeMd(
    RipeMd * 
)

This function initializes a ripemd structure by initializing ripemd’s digest, buffer, loLen and hiLen.

Parameters:

  • ripemd pointer to the ripemd structure to initialize

See:

Return:

  • 0 returned on successful execution of the function. The RipeMd structure is initialized.
  • BAD_FUNC_ARG returned if the RipeMd structure is NULL.

Example

RipeMd md;
int ret;
ret = wc_InitRipeMd(&md);
if (ret != 0) {
    // Failure case.
}

function wc_RipeMdUpdate

int wc_RipeMdUpdate(
    RipeMd * ripemd,
    const byte * data,
    word32 len
)

This function generates the RipeMd digest of the data input and stores the result in the ripemd->digest buffer. After running wc_RipeMdUpdate, one should compare the generated ripemd->digest to a known authentication tag to verify the authenticity of a message.

Parameters:

  • ripemd pointer to the ripemd structure to be initialized with wc_InitRipeMd
  • data data to be hashed
  • len sizeof data in bytes

See:

Return:

  • 0 Returned on successful execution of the function.
  • BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the RipeMd structure is NULL or if data is NULL and len is not zero. This function should execute if data is NULL and len is 0.

Example

const byte* data; // The data to be hashed
....
RipeMd md;
int ret;
ret = wc_InitRipeMd(&md);
if (ret == 0) {
ret = wc_RipeMdUpdate(&md, plain, sizeof(plain));
if (ret != 0) {
// Failure case …

function wc_RipeMdFinal

int wc_RipeMdFinal(
    RipeMd * ripemd,
    byte * hash
)

This function copies the computed digest into hash. If there is a partial unhashed block, this method will pad the block with 0s, and include that block’s round in the digest before copying to hash. State of ripemd is reset.

Parameters:

  • ripemd pointer to the ripemd structure to be initialized with wc_InitRipeMd, and containing hashes from wc_RipeMdUpdate. State will be reset
  • hash buffer to copy digest to. Should be RIPEMD_DIGEST_SIZE bytes

See: none

Return:

  • 0 Returned on successful execution of the function. The state of the RipeMd structure has been reset.
  • BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if the RipeMd structure or hash parameters are NULL.

Example

RipeMd md;
int ret;
byte   digest[RIPEMD_DIGEST_SIZE];
const byte* data; // The data to be hashed
...
ret = wc_InitRipeMd(&md);
if (ret == 0) {
ret = wc_RipeMdUpdate(&md, plain, sizeof(plain));
    if (ret != 0) {
        // RipeMd Update Failure Case.
}
ret = wc_RipeMdFinal(&md, digest);
if (ret != 0) {
    // RipeMd Final Failure Case.
}...
