:mod:`hashlib` --- BLAKE2 hash functions
|
||
========================================
|
||
|
||
.. module:: hashlib
|
||
:synopsis: BLAKE2 hash function for Python
|
||
.. sectionauthor:: Dmitry Chestnykh
|
||
|
||
.. index::
|
||
single: blake2b, blake2s
|
||
|
||
BLAKE2_ is a cryptographic hash function defined in RFC-7693_ that comes in two
|
||
flavors:
|
||
|
||
* **BLAKE2b**, optimized for 64-bit platforms and produces digests of any size
|
||
between 1 and 64 bytes,
|
||
|
||
* **BLAKE2s**, optimized for 8- to 32-bit platforms and produces digests of any
|
||
size between 1 and 32 bytes.
|
||
|
||
BLAKE2 supports **keyed mode** (a faster and simpler replacement for HMAC_),
|
||
**salted hashing**, **personalization**, and **tree hashing**.
|
||
|
||
Hash objects from this module follow the API of standard library's
|
||
:mod:`hashlib` objects.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Module
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Creating hash objects
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
New hash objects are created by calling constructor functions:
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. function:: blake2b(data=b'', digest_size=64, key=b'', salt=b'', \
|
||
person=b'', fanout=1, depth=1, leaf_size=0, node_offset=0, \
|
||
node_depth=0, inner_size=0, last_node=False)
|
||
|
||
.. function:: blake2s(data=b'', digest_size=32, key=b'', salt=b'', \
|
||
person=b'', fanout=1, depth=1, leaf_size=0, node_offset=0, \
|
||
node_depth=0, inner_size=0, last_node=False)
|
||
|
||
|
||
These functions return the corresponding hash objects for calculating
|
||
BLAKE2b or BLAKE2s. They optionally take these general parameters:
|
||
|
||
* *data*: initial chunk of data to hash, which must be interpretable as buffer
|
||
of bytes.
|
||
|
||
* *digest_size*: size of output digest in bytes.
|
||
|
||
* *key*: key for keyed hashing (up to 64 bytes for BLAKE2b, up to 32 bytes for
|
||
BLAKE2s).
|
||
|
||
* *salt*: salt for randomized hashing (up to 16 bytes for BLAKE2b, up to 8
|
||
bytes for BLAKE2s).
|
||
|
||
* *person*: personalization string (up to 16 bytes for BLAKE2b, up to 8 bytes
|
||
for BLAKE2s).
|
||
|
||
The following table shows limits for general parameters (in bytes):
|
||
|
||
======= =========== ======== ========= ===========
|
||
Hash digest_size len(key) len(salt) len(person)
|
||
======= =========== ======== ========= ===========
|
||
BLAKE2b 64 64 16 16
|
||
BLAKE2s 32 32 8 8
|
||
======= =========== ======== ========= ===========
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
BLAKE2 specification defines constant lengths for salt and personalization
|
||
parameters, however, for convenience, this implementation accepts byte
|
||
strings of any size up to the specified length. If the length of the
|
||
parameter is less than specified, it is padded with zeros, thus, for
|
||
example, ``b'salt'`` and ``b'salt\x00'`` is the same value. (This is not
|
||
the case for *key*.)
|
||
|
||
These sizes are available as module `constants`_ described below.
|
||
|
||
Constructor functions also accept the following tree hashing parameters:
|
||
|
||
* *fanout*: fanout (0 to 255, 0 if unlimited, 1 in sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *depth*: maximal depth of tree (1 to 255, 255 if unlimited, 1 in
|
||
sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *leaf_size*: maximal byte length of leaf (0 to 2**32-1, 0 if unlimited or in
|
||
sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *node_offset*: node offset (0 to 2**64-1 for BLAKE2b, 0 to 2**48-1 for
|
||
BLAKE2s, 0 for the first, leftmost, leaf, or in sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *node_depth*: node depth (0 to 255, 0 for leaves, or in sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *inner_size*: inner digest size (0 to 64 for BLAKE2b, 0 to 32 for
|
||
BLAKE2s, 0 in sequential mode).
|
||
|
||
* *last_node*: boolean indicating whether the processed node is the last
|
||
one (`False` for sequential mode).

Examples
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
Simple hashing
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
To calculate hash of some data, you should first construct a hash object by
|
||
calling the appropriate constructor function (:func:`blake2b` or
|
||
:func:`blake2s`), then update it with the data by calling :meth:`update` on the
|
||
object, and, finally, get the digest out of the object by calling
|
||
:meth:`digest` (or :meth:`hexdigest` for hex-encoded string).
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> h = blake2b()
|
||
>>> h.update(b'Hello world')
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'6ff843ba685842aa82031d3f53c48b66326df7639a63d128974c5c14f31a0f33343a8c65551134ed1ae0f2b0dd2bb495dc81039e3eeb0aa1bb0388bbeac29183'
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a shortcut, you can pass the first chunk of data to update directly to the
|
||
constructor as the first argument (or as *data* keyword argument):
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> blake2b(b'Hello world').hexdigest()
|
||
'6ff843ba685842aa82031d3f53c48b66326df7639a63d128974c5c14f31a0f33343a8c65551134ed1ae0f2b0dd2bb495dc81039e3eeb0aa1bb0388bbeac29183'
|
||
|
||
You can call :meth:`hash.update` as many times as you need to iteratively
|
||
update the hash:
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> items = [b'Hello', b' ', b'world']
|
||
>>> h = blake2b()
|
||
>>> for item in items:
|
||
... h.update(item)
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'6ff843ba685842aa82031d3f53c48b66326df7639a63d128974c5c14f31a0f33343a8c65551134ed1ae0f2b0dd2bb495dc81039e3eeb0aa1bb0388bbeac29183'
|
||
|
||
|
||
Using different digest sizes
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
BLAKE2 has configurable size of digests up to 64 bytes for BLAKE2b and up to 32
|
||
bytes for BLAKE2s. For example, to replace SHA-1 with BLAKE2b without changing
|
||
the size of output, we can tell BLAKE2b to produce 20-byte digests:
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> h = blake2b(digest_size=20)
|
||
>>> h.update(b'Replacing SHA1 with the more secure function')
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'd24f26cf8de66472d58d4e1b1774b4c9158b1f4c'
|
||
>>> h.digest_size
|
||
20
|
||
>>> len(h.digest())
|
||
20
|
||
|
||
Hash objects with different digest sizes have completely different outputs
|
||
(shorter hashes are *not* prefixes of longer hashes); BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s
|
||
produce different outputs even if the output length is the same:
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b, blake2s
|
||
>>> blake2b(digest_size=10).hexdigest()
|
||
'6fa1d8fcfd719046d762'
|
||
>>> blake2b(digest_size=11).hexdigest()
|
||
'eb6ec15daf9546254f0809'
|
||
>>> blake2s(digest_size=10).hexdigest()
|
||
'1bf21a98c78a1c376ae9'
|
||
>>> blake2s(digest_size=11).hexdigest()
|
||
'567004bf96e4a25773ebf4'
|
||
|
||
|
||
Keyed hashing
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
Keyed hashing can be used for authentication as a faster and simpler
|
||
replacement for `Hash-based message authentication code
|
||
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code>`_ (HMAC).
|
||
BLAKE2 can be securely used in prefix-MAC mode thanks to the
|
||
indifferentiability property inherited from BLAKE.
|
||
|
||
This example shows how to get a (hex-encoded) 128-bit authentication code for
|
||
message ``b'message data'`` with key ``b'pseudorandom key'``::
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> h = blake2b(key=b'pseudorandom key', digest_size=16)
|
||
>>> h.update(b'message data')
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'3d363ff7401e02026f4a4687d4863ced'
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a practical example, a web application can symmetrically sign cookies sent
|
||
to users and later verify them to make sure they weren't tampered with::
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> from hmac import compare_digest
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> SECRET_KEY = b'pseudorandomly generated server secret key'
|
||
>>> AUTH_SIZE = 16
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> def sign(cookie):
|
||
... h = blake2b(data=cookie, digest_size=AUTH_SIZE, key=SECRET_KEY)
|
||
... return h.hexdigest()
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> cookie = b'user:vatrogasac'
|
||
>>> sig = sign(cookie)
|
||
>>> print("{0},{1}".format(cookie.decode('utf-8'), sig))
|
||
user:vatrogasac,349cf904533767ed2d755279a8df84d0
|
||
>>> compare_digest(cookie, sig)
|
||
True
|
||
>>> compare_digest(b'user:policajac', sig)
|
||
False
|
||
>>> compare_digesty(cookie, '0102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f00')
|
||
False
|
||
|
||
Even though there's a native keyed hashing mode, BLAKE2 can, of course, be used
|
||
in HMAC construction with :mod:`hmac` module::
|
||
|
||
>>> import hmac, hashlib
|
||
>>> m = hmac.new(b'secret key', digestmod=hashlib.blake2s)
|
||
>>> m.update(b'message')
|
||
>>> m.hexdigest()
|
||
'e3c8102868d28b5ff85fc35dda07329970d1a01e273c37481326fe0c861c8142'
|
||
|
||
|
||
Randomized hashing
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
By setting *salt* parameter users can introduce randomization to the hash
|
||
function. Randomized hashing is useful for protecting against collision attacks
|
||
on the hash function used in digital signatures.
|
||
|
||
Randomized hashing is designed for situations where one party, the message
|
||
preparer, generates all or part of a message to be signed by a second
|
||
party, the message signer. If the message preparer is able to find
|
||
cryptographic hash function collisions (i.e., two messages producing the
|
||
same hash value), then she might prepare meaningful versions of the message
|
||
that would produce the same hash value and digital signature, but with
|
||
different results (e.g., transferring $1,000,000 to an account, rather than
|
||
$10). Cryptographic hash functions have been designed with collision
|
||
resistance as a major goal, but the current concentration on attacking
|
||
cryptographic hash functions may result in a given cryptographic hash
|
||
function providing less collision resistance than expected. Randomized
|
||
hashing offers the signer additional protection by reducing the likelihood
|
||
that a preparer can generate two or more messages that ultimately yield the
|
||
same hash value during the digital signature generation process – even if
|
||
it is practical to find collisions for the hash function. However, the use
|
||
of randomized hashing may reduce the amount of security provided by a
|
||
digital signature when all portions of the message are prepared
|
||
by the signer.
|
||
|
||
(`NIST SP-800-106 "Randomized Hashing for Digital Signatures"
|
||
<http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-106/NIST-SP-800-106.pdf>`_)
|
||
|
||
In BLAKE2 the salt is processed as a one-time input to the hash function during
|
||
initialization, rather than as an input to each compression function.
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
|
||
*Salted hashing* (or just hashing) with BLAKE2 or any other general-purpose
|
||
cryptographic hash function, such as SHA-256, is not suitable for hashing
|
||
passwords. See `BLAKE2 FAQ <https://blake2.net/#qa>`_ for more
|
||
information.
|
||
..
|
||
|
||
>>> import os
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> msg = b'some message'
|
||
>>> # Calculate the first hash with a random salt.
|
||
>>> salt1 = os.urandom(blake2b.SALT_SIZE)
|
||
>>> h1 = blake2b(salt=salt1)
|
||
>>> h1.update(msg)
|
||
>>> # Calculate the second hash with a different random salt.
|
||
>>> salt2 = os.urandom(blake2b.SALT_SIZE)
|
||
>>> h2 = blake2b(salt=salt2)
|
||
>>> h2.update(msg)
|
||
>>> # The digests are different.
|
||
>>> h1.digest() != h2.digest()
|
||
True
|
||
|
||
|
||
Personalization
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it is useful to force hash function to produce different digests for
|
||
the same input for different purposes. Quoting the authors of the Skein hash
|
||
function:
|
||
|
||
We recommend that all application designers seriously consider doing this;
|
||
we have seen many protocols where a hash that is computed in one part of
|
||
the protocol can be used in an entirely different part because two hash
|
||
computations were done on similar or related data, and the attacker can
|
||
force the application to make the hash inputs the same. Personalizing each
|
||
hash function used in the protocol summarily stops this type of attack.
|
||
|
||
(`The Skein Hash Function Family
|
||
<http://www.skein-hash.info/sites/default/files/skein1.3.pdf>`_,
|
||
p. 21)
|
||
|
||
BLAKE2 can be personalized by passing bytes to the *person* argument::
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>> FILES_HASH_PERSON = b'MyApp Files Hash'
|
||
>>> BLOCK_HASH_PERSON = b'MyApp Block Hash'
|
||
>>> h = blake2b(digest_size=32, person=FILES_HASH_PERSON)
|
||
>>> h.update(b'the same content')
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'20d9cd024d4fb086aae819a1432dd2466de12947831b75c5a30cf2676095d3b4'
|
||
>>> h = blake2b(digest_size=32, person=BLOCK_HASH_PERSON)
|
||
>>> h.update(b'the same content')
|
||
>>> h.hexdigest()
|
||
'cf68fb5761b9c44e7878bfb2c4c9aea52264a80b75005e65619778de59f383a3'
|
||
|
||
Personalization together with the keyed mode can also be used to derive different
|
||
keys from a single one.
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2s
|
||
>>> from base64 import b64decode, b64encode
|
||
>>> orig_key = b64decode(b'Rm5EPJai72qcK3RGBpW3vPNfZy5OZothY+kHY6h21KM=')
|
||
>>> enc_key = blake2s(key=orig_key, person=b'kEncrypt').digest()
|
||
>>> mac_key = blake2s(key=orig_key, person=b'kMAC').digest()
|
||
>>> print(b64encode(enc_key).decode('utf-8'))
|
||
rbPb15S/Z9t+agffno5wuhB77VbRi6F9Iv2qIxU7WHw=
|
||
>>> print(b64encode(mac_key).decode('utf-8'))
|
||
G9GtHFE1YluXY1zWPlYk1e/nWfu0WSEb0KRcjhDeP/o=
|
||
|
||
Tree mode
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of hashing a minimal tree with two leaf nodes::
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
/ \
|
||
00 01
|
||
|
||
This example uses 64-byte internal digests, and returns the 32-byte final
|
||
digest::
|
||
|
||
>>> from hashlib import blake2b
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> FANOUT = 2
|
||
>>> DEPTH = 2
|
||
>>> LEAF_SIZE = 4096
|
||
>>> INNER_SIZE = 64
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> buf = bytearray(6000)
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> # Left leaf
|
||
... h00 = blake2b(buf[0:LEAF_SIZE], fanout=FANOUT, depth=DEPTH,
|
||
... leaf_size=LEAF_SIZE, inner_size=INNER_SIZE,
|
||
... node_offset=0, node_depth=0, last_node=False)
|
||
>>> # Right leaf
|
||
... h01 = blake2b(buf[LEAF_SIZE:], fanout=FANOUT, depth=DEPTH,
|
||
... leaf_size=LEAF_SIZE, inner_size=INNER_SIZE,
|
||
... node_offset=1, node_depth=0, last_node=True)
|
||
>>> # Root node
|
||
... h10 = blake2b(digest_size=32, fanout=FANOUT, depth=DEPTH,
|
||
... leaf_size=LEAF_SIZE, inner_size=INNER_SIZE,
|
||
... node_offset=0, node_depth=1, last_node=True)
|
||
>>> h10.update(h00.digest())
|
||
>>> h10.update(h01.digest())
|
||
>>> h10.hexdigest()
