Class: SHA1

SHA1

Implements the SHA-1 secure hash algorithm specified in FIPS 180-4 (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-4/fips-180-4.pdf)

new SHA1()

Creates a new SHA-1 instance.

Requires

  • module:convert

Methods

clear()

Initialize class values, invoking Hasher#clear before clearing values specific to SHA1. This is called internally at the end of SHA1#finalize, and can be called explicitly when using progressive hashing.
Source:

finalize(options) → {string|Array}

Finalizes the hash and returns the result. This is called internally by the hash method of the Hasher subclass instance when streaming mode is turned off. It should be called explicitly when using streaming mode after all data is passed into the hash method.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
options Object Optional options object (descriptions of parameters below)
Properties
Name Type Argument Default Description
return_format string <optional>
 hex (binary|hex|words) The return format. Default: hex
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
A string or array depending on options.return_format
Type
string | Array

get_block_size() → {number}

Returns the block size in bits for the current instance
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The block size in bits.
Type
number

get_outlen() → {number}

Returns the length in bits of the output block for this instance
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The output block size in bits.
Type
number

hash(data, options) → {string|Array|SHA1}

Hashes data into the SHA1 class instance.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
data string ASCII-encoded binary string data to hash. Any non-ASCII characters should be first encoded out using convert.utf8.encode
options Object <optional>
 Optional options object
Properties
Name Type Argument Default Description
stream boolean <optional>
 false Whether to use streaming (progressive hashing) mode. In streaming mode, you can repeatedly hash data into the SHA1 object. The hash will not be finalized and returned until you call SHA1#finalize. Streaming mode is useful when you have to hash a huge amount of data and you don't want to store all of it in memory at one time.
return_format string <optional>
 'hex' (binary|hex|words) The return format. Default: hex
Source:
Returns:
Desired output format if streaming mode is turned off. Otherwise this instance (chainable)
Type
string | Array | SHA1

initialize() → {SHA1}

This is called automatically on class instantiation.

Returns:
