This is a perl6 module implementing some digest algorithms in pure Perl6 (no parrot or nqp:: code).

The interface is minimal: functions only return Buf and only take a Buf as argument. It's up to the user to turn it into an hex string if he needs to.

use Digest::SHA;
say my $sha256 = sha256 "hello".encode: 'ascii';

use Digest::RIPEMD;
say rmd160 "bye".encode: "ascii";

sub buf_to_hex { [~] $^buf.list».fmt: "%02x" }
say buf_to_hex $sha256;

Currently implemented:

• Digest
  • md5
• Digest::SHA :
  • sha256
  • sha1
• Digest::RIPEMD :
  • rmd160
