NAME πŸ’–

Okay bestie, welcome to the Crypt::Digest::Keccak384 page from User Contributed Perl Documentation (the header is the truncated Crypt::...ccak384(3), iykyk).

  • Crypt::Digest::Keccak384 β€” Hash function Keccak-384 [size: 384 bits]

SYNOPSIS ✨

### Functional interface:
use Crypt::Digest::Keccak384 qw( keccak384 keccak384_hex keccak384_b64 keccak384_b64u
                             keccak384_file keccak384_file_hex keccak384_file_b64 keccak384_file_b64u );

# calculate digest from string/buffer
my $data = 'data string';
my $keccak384_raw  = keccak384($data);
my $keccak384_hex  = keccak384_hex($data);
my $keccak384_b64  = keccak384_b64($data);
my $keccak384_b64u = keccak384_b64u($data);
# or from file
my $keccak384_file_raw  = keccak384_file('filename.dat');
my $keccak384_file_hex  = keccak384_file_hex('filename.dat');
my $keccak384_file_b64  = keccak384_file_b64('filename.dat');
my $keccak384_file_b64u = keccak384_file_b64u('filename.dat');
# or from filehandle
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $keccak384_fh_raw  = keccak384_file($filehandle);
my $keccak384_fh_hex  = keccak384_file_hex($filehandle);
my $keccak384_fh_b64  = keccak384_file_b64($filehandle);
my $keccak384_fh_b64u = keccak384_file_b64u($filehandle);

### OO interface:
use Crypt::Digest::Keccak384;

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Keccak384->new;
$d->add('any data');
my $result_raw  = $d->digest;     # raw bytes
my $result_hex  = $d->hexdigest;  # hexadecimal form
my $result_b64  = $d->b64digest;  # Base64 form
my $result_b64u = $d->b64udigest; # Base64 URL-safe form

# or hash a file instead
my $file_result_raw = Crypt::Digest::Keccak384->new->addfile('filename.dat')->digest;

DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

It gives you an interface to the Keccak384 digest algorithm. That's the whole vibe, bestie. πŸ’…


EXPORT πŸŽ€

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

use Crypt::Digest::Keccak384 qw(keccak384 keccak384_hex keccak384_b64 keccak384_b64u
                                    keccak384_file keccak384_file_hex keccak384_file_b64 keccak384_file_b64u);

Or all of them at once:

use Crypt::Digest::Keccak384 ':all';

FUNCTIONS 🌸

keccak384

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a binary string.

Data arguments for the functional helpers are converted to byte strings using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning. The same rules apply to keccak384_hex, keccak384_b64, and keccak384_b64u.

my $keccak384_raw = keccak384('data string');
#or
my $keccak384_raw = keccak384('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

keccak384_hex

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

my $keccak384_hex = keccak384_hex('data string');
#or
my $keccak384_hex = keccak384_hex('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

keccak384_b64

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing = padding.

my $keccak384_b64 = keccak384_b64('data string');
#or
my $keccak384_b64 = keccak384_b64('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

keccak384_b64u

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).

my $keccak384_b64url = keccak384_b64u('data string');
#or
my $keccak384_b64url = keccak384_b64u('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

keccak384_file

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a binary string.

my $keccak384_raw = keccak384_file('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $keccak384_raw = keccak384_file($filehandle);

keccak384_file_hex

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

my $keccak384_hex = keccak384_file_hex('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $keccak384_hex = keccak384_file_hex($filehandle);
Note: The filehandle must be in binary mode before you pass it to addfile().

keccak384_file_b64

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing = padding.

my $keccak384_b64 = keccak384_file_b64('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $keccak384_b64 = keccak384_file_b64($filehandle);

keccak384_file_b64u

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Keccak384 digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).

my $keccak384_b64url = keccak384_file_b64u('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $keccak384_b64url = keccak384_file_b64u($filehandle);

METHODS πŸ’œ

The OO interface provides the same set of functions as Crypt::Digest. Unless noted otherwise, assume $d is an existing digest object created via new, for example:

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Keccak384->new();

new

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Keccak384->new();

clone

$d->clone();

reset

$d->reset();

add

Appends data to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining).

Each argument is converted to bytes using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning.

$d->add('any data');
#or
$d->add('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

addfile

Reads the file content and appends it to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining).

$d->addfile('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
$d->addfile($filehandle);

hashsize

$d->hashsize;
#or
Crypt::Digest::Keccak384->hashsize();
#or
Crypt::Digest::Keccak384::hashsize();

digest

Returns the binary digest (raw bytes). The first call finalizes the digest object. Any later add(), addfile(), digest(), hexdigest(), b64digest(), or b64udigest() call will fail until you call reset().

my $result_raw = $d->digest();

hexdigest

Returns the digest encoded as a lowercase hexadecimal string. Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object.

my $result_hex = $d->hexdigest();

b64digest

Returns the digest encoded as a Base64 string with trailing = padding. Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object.

my $result_b64 = $d->b64digest();

b64udigest

Returns the digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (no trailing =). Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object.

my $result_b64url = $d->b64udigest();
