Overview

Package digest provides a generalized type to opaquely represent message digests and their operations within the registry. The Digest type is designed to serve as a flexible identifier in a content-addressable system. More importantly, it provides tools and wrappers to work with tarsums and hash.Hash-based digests with little effort.

Basics

The format of a digest is simply a string with two parts, dubbed the "algorithm" and the "digest", separated by a colon:

<algorithm>:<digest>

An example of a sha256 digest representation follows:

sha256:7173b809ca12ec5dee4506cd86be934c4596dd234ee82c0662eac04a8c2c71dc

In this case, the string "sha256" is the algorithm and the hex bytes are the "digest". A tarsum example will be more illustrative of the use case involved in the registry:

tarsum+sha256:e58fcf7418d4390dec8e8fb69d88c06ec07039d651fedd3aa72af9972e7d046b

For this, we consider the algorithm to be "tarsum+sha256". Prudent applications will favor the ParseDigest function to verify the format over using simple type casts. However, a normal string can be cast as a digest with a simple type conversion:

Digest("tarsum+sha256:e58fcf7418d4390dec8e8fb69d88c06ec07039d651fedd3aa72af9972e7d046b")

Because the Digest type is simply a string, once a valid Digest is obtained, comparisons are cheap, quick and simple to express with the standard equality operator.

Verification

The main benefit of using the Digest type is simple verification against a given digest. The Verifier interface, modeled after the stdlib hash.Hash interface, provides a common write sink for digest verification. After writing is complete, calling the Verifier.Verified method will indicate whether or not the stream of bytes matches the target digest.

Missing Features

In addition to the above, we intend to add the following features to this package:

1. A Digester type that supports write sink digest calculation.

2. Suspend and resume of ongoing digest calculations to support efficient digest verification in the registry.

Types

type Digest

type Digest string

Digest allows simple protection of hex formatted digest strings, prefixed by their algorithm. Strings of type Digest have some guarantee of being in the correct format and it provides quick access to the components of a digest string.

The following is an example of the contents of Digest types:

sha256:7173b809ca12ec5dee4506cd86be934c4596dd234ee82c0662eac04a8c2c71dc

More important for this code base, this type is compatible with tarsum digests. For example, the following would be a valid Digest:

tarsum+sha256:e58fcf7418d4390dec8e8fb69d88c06ec07039d651fedd3aa72af9972e7d046b

This allows to abstract the digest behind this type and work only in those terms.

func FromBytes

func FromBytes(p []byte) (Digest, error)

FromBytes digests the input and returns a Digest.

func FromReader

func FromReader(rd io.Reader) (Digest, error)

FromReader returns the most valid digest for the underlying content.

func FromTarArchive

func FromTarArchive(rd io.Reader) (Digest, error)

FromTarArchive produces a tarsum digest from reader rd.

func NewDigest

func NewDigest(alg string, h hash.Hash) Digest

NewDigest returns a Digest from alg and a hash.Hash object.

func NewDigestFromHex

func NewDigestFromHex(alg, hex string) Digest

NewDigestFromHex returns a Digest from alg and a the hex encoded digest.

func ParseDigest

func ParseDigest(s string) (Digest, error)

ParseDigest parses s and returns the validated digest object. An error will be returned if the format is invalid.

func (Digest) Algorithm

func (d Digest) Algorithm() string

Algorithm returns the algorithm portion of the digest. This will panic if the underlying digest is not in a valid format.

func (Digest) Hex

func (d Digest) Hex() string

Hex returns the hex digest portion of the digest. This will panic if the underlying digest is not in a valid format.

type TarSumInfo

type TarSumInfo struct {
	// Version contains the version of the tarsum.
	Version string

	// Algorithm contains the algorithm for the final digest
	Algorithm string

	// Digest contains the hex-encoded digest.
	Digest string
}

TarSumInfo contains information about a parsed tarsum.

func ParseTarSum

func ParseTarSum(tarSum string) (tsi TarSumInfo, err error)

ParseTarSum parses a tarsum string into its components of interest. For example, this method may receive the tarsum in the following format:

tarsum.v1+sha256:220a60ecd4a3c32c282622a625a54db9ba0ff55b5ba9c29c7064a2bc358b6a3e

The function will return the following:

TarSumInfo{
	Version: "v1",
	Algorithm: "sha256",

NewDigestVerifier returns a verifier that compares the written bytes against a passed in digest.

func NewLengthVerifier

func NewLengthVerifier(expected int64) Verifier

NewLengthVerifier returns a verifier that returns true when the number of read bytes equals the expected parameter.
