Description
This is the heart of the crypto-api package. By making (or having) an instance of Hash, AsymCipher, BlockCipher or StreamCipher you provide (or obtain) access to any infrastructure built on these primitives include block cipher modes of operation, hashing, hmac, signing, etc. These classes allow users to build routines that are agnostic to the algorithm used so changing algorithms is as simple as changing a type signature.

Documentation
class (Serialize d, Eq d, Ord d) => Hash ctx d | d -> ctx, ctx -> d where

The Hash class is intended as the generic interface targeted by maintainers of Haskell digest implementations. Using this generic interface, higher level functions such as hash and hash' provide a useful API for comsumers of hash implementations.

Any instantiated implementation must handle unaligned data

Methods
outputLength
:: Tagged d BitLengthThe size of the digest when encoded
blockLength
:: Tagged d BitLengthThe amount of data operated on in each round of the digest computation
initialCtx
:: ctxAn initial context, provided with the first call to updateCtx
updateCtx
:: ctx
-> ByteString
-> ctxUsed to update a context, repeatedly called until all data is exhausted must operate correctly for imputs of n*blockLength bytes for n elem [0..]
finalize
:: ctx
-> ByteString
-> dFinializing a context, plus any message data less than the block size, into a digest
class Serialize k => BlockCipher k where

The BlockCipher class is intended as the generic interface targeted by maintainers of Haskell cipher implementations. Using this generic interface higher level functions such as cbc, and other functions from Data.Crypto.Modes, provide a useful API for comsumers of cipher implementations.

Instances must handle unaligned data

Methods
blockSize
:: Tagged k BitLengthThe size of a single block; the smallest unit on which the cipher operates.
encryptBlock
:: k
-> ByteString
-> ByteStringencrypt data of size n*blockSize where n elem [0..] (ecb encryption)
decryptBlock
:: k
-> ByteString
-> ByteStringdecrypt data of size n*blockSize where n elem [0..] (ecb decryption)
buildKey
:: ByteString
-> Maybe ksmart constructor for keys from a bytestring.
keyLength
:: k
-> BitLengthkeyLength may inspect its argument to return the length
blockSizeBytes :: BlockCipher k => Tagged k ByteLength
class Serialize k => StreamCipher k iv | k -> iv where
A stream cipher class. Instance are expected to work on messages as small as one byte The length of the resulting cipher text should be equal to the length of the input message.
Methods
buildStreamKey :: ByteString -> Maybe k
encryptStream :: k -> iv -> ByteString -> (ByteString, iv)
decryptStream :: k -> iv -> ByteString -> (ByteString, iv)
streamKeyLength :: k -> BitLength
class Serialize p => AsymCipher p where
Asymetric ciphers (common ones being RSA or EC based)
Methods
buildKeyPair
:: CryptoRandomGen g
=> g
-> BitLength
-> Maybe ((p, p), g)build a public/private key pair using the provided generator
encryptAsym
:: p
-> ByteString
-> ByteStringAsymetric encryption
decryptAsym
:: p
-> ByteString
-> ByteStringAsymetric decryption
asymKeyLength :: p -> BitLength
class (Serialize p, Serialize v) => Signing p v | p -> v, v -> p where
A class for signing operations which inherently can not be as generic as asymetric ciphers (ex: DSA).
Methods
sign :: v -> ByteString -> ByteString
verify :: p -> ByteString -> ByteString -> Bool
buildSigningPair :: CryptoRandomGen g => g -> BitLength -> Maybe ((p, v), g)
signingKeyLength :: v -> BitLength
verifyingKeyLength :: p -> BitLength
for :: Tagged a b -> a -> b
Obtain a tagged value for a given type
(.::.) :: Tagged a b -> a -> b
Infix for operator
hash :: Hash ctx d => ByteString -> d
Hash a lazy ByteString, creating a digest
hash' :: Hash ctx d => ByteString -> d
Hash a strict ByteString, creating a digest
hashFunc :: Hash c d => d -> ByteString -> d
Obtain a lazy hash function from a digest
hashFunc' :: Hash c d => d -> ByteString -> d
Obtain a strict hash function from a digest
