This module implements the SHA-512 Algorithm described by Secure Hash Standard, FIPS PUB 180-2

class Sha512: tango.util.digest.MerkleDamgard.MerkleDamgard;


this();
Construct a Sha512 hash algorithm context

protected void createDigest(ubyte[] buf);


uint digestSize();
The digest size of Sha-512 is 64 bytes

protected void reset();
Initialize the cipher

Remarks:
Returns the cipher state to it's initial value

protected uint blockSize();
Cipher block size

Returns:
the block size

Remarks:
Specifies the size (in bytes) of the block of data to pass to each call to transform(). For SHA512 the blockSize is 128.

protected uint addSize();
Length padding size

Returns:
the length padding size

Remarks:
Specifies the size (in bytes) of the padding which uses the length of the data which has been ciphered, this padding is carried out by the padLength method. For SHA512 the addSize is 16.

protected void padMessage(ubyte[] data);
Pads the cipher data

Params:
ubyte[] data a slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding

Remarks:
Fills the passed buffer slice with the appropriate padding for the final call to transform(). This padding will fill the cipher buffer up to blockSize()-addSize().

protected void padLength(ubyte[] data, ulong length);
Performs the length padding

Params:
ubyte[] data the slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding
ulong length the length of the data which has been ciphered

Remarks:
Fills the passed buffer slice with addSize() bytes of padding based on the length in bytes of the input data which has been ciphered.

protected void transform(const(ubyte[]) input);
Performs the cipher on a block of data

Params:
data the block of data to cipher

Remarks:
The actual cipher algorithm is carried out by this method on the passed block of data. This method is called for every blockSize() bytes of input data and once more with the remaining data padded to blockSize().
