It has an * upper limit of the input length, and may run slow to calculate the * hash values for large inputs. * * This API is designed to be general so that it can provide multiple * different hash contexts that have different random vectors. However, * it should be typical to have a single context for an entire system. * To support such cases, the API also provides a single-context mode. * * \li MP: * The hash object is almost read-only. Once the internal random vector * is initialized, no write operation will occur, and there will be no * need to lock the object to calculate actual hash values. * * \li Reliability: * In some cases this module uses low-level data copy to initialize the * random vector. Errors in this part are likely to crash the server or * corrupt memory. * * \li Resources: * A buffer, used as a random vector for calculating hash values. * * \li Security: * This module intends to provide unpredictable hash values in * adversarial environments in order to avoid denial of service attacks * to hash buckets. * Its unpredictability relies on the quality of entropy to build the * random vector. * * \li Standards: * None. */ /*** *** Imports ***/ #include <isc/types.h> /*** *** Functions ***/ ISC_LANG_BEGINDECLS LIBISC_EXTERNAL_DATA extern isc_hash_t *isc_hashctx; isc_result_t isc_hash_ctxcreate(isc_mem_t *mctx, isc_entropy_t *entropy, size_t limit, isc_hash_t **hctx); isc_result_t isc_hash_create(isc_mem_t *mctx, isc_entropy_t *entropy, size_t limit); /*!< * \brief Create a new hash object. * * isc_hash_ctxcreate() creates a different object. * * isc_hash_create() creates a module-internal object to support the * single-context mode.
