A sha256 implementation written in Go

gosha256

A sha256 implementation written in Go.

NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE

You probably want to use the standard Go crypto/sha256 package instead.

Written by @jwatson0 for my own exploration of the SHA2 algorithm. Primarily the FIPS 180-2 spec was used with very little examination of other implementations or comparison to the standard Go crypto/sha256 package (yet).

Installing

import "github.com/jwatson0/go/gosha256/sha2"

Running the tests

go get github.com/jwatson0/go/gosha256
cd $GOPATH/github.com/jwatson0/go/gosha256/sha2
go test

Caveats

• There are currently a few test cases that are failing, but I haven't tracked down the issue.

• No optimizations for speed or benchmarks have been done (yet).

• This implementation works on whole byte boundaries. Lengths of bits not divisible by 8 are supported in the spec, but not this code (yet).
