Detailed Description

Utility functions for generating hashes.

This is based in part on Drupal code as well as what we used in our own code prior to introduction of this class, by way of MWCryptRand.

hash()

static MWCryptHash::hash ( $data, $raw = true )

static

Generate a cryptographic hash value (message digest) for a string, making use of the best hash algorithm that we have available.

Parameters

string	$data
bool	$raw	True to return binary data, false to return it hex-encoded

Returns

string A hash of the data

hashAlgo()

static MWCryptHash::hashAlgo ( )

static

Decide on the best acceptable hash algorithm we have available for hash()

Returns

string A hash algorithm

Definition at line 28 of file MWCryptHash.php.

hashLength()

static MWCryptHash::hashLength ( $raw = true )

static

Return the byte-length output of the hash algorithm we are using in self::hash and self::hmac.

Parameters

bool

$raw

True to return the length for binary data, false to return for hex-encoded

Returns

int Number of bytes the hash outputs

hmac()

static MWCryptHash::hmac ( $data, $key, $raw = true )

static

Generate a keyed cryptographic hash value (HMAC) for a string, making use of the best hash algorithm that we have available.

Parameters

string	$data
string	$key
bool	$raw	True to return binary data, false to return it hex-encoded

Returns

string An HMAC hash of the data + key
