A set of cryptographic hashing functions for Dart.

The following hashing algorithms are supported:

* SHA-1

* SHA-224

* SHA-256

* SHA-384

* SHA-512

* SHA-512/224

* SHA-512/256

* MD5

* HMAC (i.e. HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256)

## Usage

### Digest on a single input

To hash a list of bytes, invoke the [`convert`][convert] method on the

[`sha1`][sha1-obj], [`sha256`][sha256-obj] or [`md5`][md5-obj]

objects.

```dart

import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart';

import 'dart:convert'; // for the utf8.encode method

void main() {

  var bytes = utf8.encode("foobar"); // data being hashed

  var digest = sha1.convert(bytes);

  print("Digest as bytes: ${digest.bytes}");

  print("Digest as hex string: $digest");

}

```

### Digest on chunked input

If the input data is not available as a _single_ list of bytes, use

the chunked conversion approach.

Invoke the [`startChunkedConversion`][startChunkedConversion] method

to create a sink for the input data. On the sink, invoke the `add`

method for each chunk of input data, and invoke the `close` method

when all the chunks have been added. The digest can then be retrieved

from the `Sink` used to create the input data sink.

```dart

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:convert/convert.dart';

import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart';

void main() {

  var firstChunk = utf8.encode("foo");

  var secondChunk = utf8.encode("bar");

  var output = AccumulatorSink();

  var input = sha1.startChunkedConversion(output);

  input.add(firstChunk);

  input.add(secondChunk); // call `add` for every chunk of input data

  input.close();

  var digest = output.events.single;

  print("Digest as bytes: ${digest.bytes}");

  print("Digest as hex string: $digest");

}

```

The above example uses the `AccumulatorSink` class that comes with the

_convert_ package. It is capable of accumulating multiple events, but

in this usage only a single `Digest` is added to it when the data sink's

`close` method is invoked.

### HMAC

Create an instance of the [`Hmac`][Hmac] class with the hash function

and secret key being used.  The object can then be used like the other

hash calculating objects.

```dart

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:crypto/crypto.dart';

void main() {

  var key = utf8.encode('p@ssw0rd');

  var bytes = utf8.encode("foobar");

  var hmacSha256 = Hmac(sha256, key); // HMAC-SHA256

  var digest = hmacSha256.convert(bytes);

  print("HMAC digest as bytes: ${digest.bytes}");

  print("HMAC digest as hex string: $digest");

}

```
