<h1> The <tt>stdcrypto</tt> library interface </h1>

<p>
<tt>stdcrypto</tt> is a small collection of standard,
public-domain cryptographic primitives. Currently, the following
operations are provided:
</p>

<ul>
  <li> rc4 </li>
  <li> md5 </li>
  <li> sha1 </li>
  <li> sha256 </li>
  <li> sha512 </li>
</ul>

<h2> Compiling </h2>

<ul>
 <li> Use <tt>#include &lt;skalibs/stdcrypto.h&gt;</tt> </li>
</ul>

<h2> Programming </h2>

<p>
 You should refer to the <tt>skalibs/stdcrypto.h</tt> header and included headers
for the exact function prototypes.
</p>

<h3> <a name="rc4" />
RC4 </h3>

<pre>
  RC4Schedule ctx ;
  unsigned char const *key ;
  unsigned int keylen ;
  unsigned char const *in ;
  unsigned char *out ;
  unsigned int len ;

  rc4_init(&amp;ctx, key, keylen) ;
  rc4(&amp;ctx, in, out, len) ;
</pre>

<ul>
  <li> <tt>rc4_init()</tt> initializes a RC4Schedule structure with a key <em>key</em>,
of length <em>keylen</em>. It then computes and throws away the first <tt>RC4_THROWAWAY</tt>
bytes, usually 100 </li>
  <li> <tt>rc4()</tt> encrypts <em>len</em> bytes of <em>in</em> with the RC4 flow, and
stores the results into <em>out</em> </li>
</ul>

<h3> <a name="md5" />
MD5 </h3>

<pre>
  MD5Schedule ctx ;
  char const *message ;
  unsigned int messagelen ;
  char digest[16] ;

  md5_init(&amp;ctx) ;
  md5_update(&amp;ctx, message, messagelen) ;
  md5_final(&amp;ctx, digest) ;
</pre>    

<ul>
  <li> <tt>md5_init()</tt> prepares a MD5Schedule structure for computation </li>
  <li> <tt>md5_update()</tt> adds <em>message</em> to the message to be digested </li>
  <li> <tt>md5_final()</tt> computes the digest </li>
</ul>

<h3> <a name="sha1"></a>
SHA1 </h3>

<pre>
  SHA1Schedule ctx ;
  char const *message ;
  unsigned int messagelen ;
  unsigned char digest[20] ;

  sha1_init(&amp;ctx) ;
  sha1_update(&amp;ctx, message, messagelen) ;
  sha1_final(&amp;ctx, digest) ;
</pre>

<ul>
  <li> <tt>sha1_init()</tt> prepares a SHA1Schedule structure for computation </li>
  <li> <tt>sha1_update()</tt> adds <em>message</em> to the message to be digested </li>
  <li> <tt>sha1_final()</tt> computes the digest </li>
</ul>

<h3> <a name="sha256"></a>
SHA256 </h3>

<pre>
  SHA256Schedule ctx ;
  char const *message ;
  unsigned int messagelen ;
  char digest[32] ;

  sha256_init(&amp;ctx) ;
  sha256_update(&amp;ctx, message, messagelen) ;
  sha256_final(&amp;ctx, digest) ;
</pre>

<ul>
  <li> <tt>sha256_init()</tt> prepares a SHA256Schedule structure for computation </li>
  <li> <tt>sha256_update()</tt> adds <em>message</em> to the message to be digested </li>
  <li> <tt>sha256_final()</tt> computes the digest </li>
</ul>

<h3> <a name="sha512"></a>
SHA512 </h3>

<pre>
  SHA512Schedule ctx ;
  char const *message ;
  unsigned int messagelen ;
  char digest[64] ;

  sha512_init(&amp;ctx) ;
  sha512_update(&amp;ctx, message, messagelen) ;
  sha512_final(&amp;ctx, digest) ;
</pre>

<ul>
  <li> <tt>sha512_init()</tt> prepares a SHA512Schedule structure for computation </li>
  <li> <tt>sha512_update()</tt> adds <em>message</em> to the message to be digested </li>
  <li> <tt>sha512_final()</tt> computes the digest </li>
</ul>
