Implementation of the Skein hash function, one of the finalists in the SHA-3 competition
Downloads ↓ | Package Documentation
Latest Version: 0.7.1
PySkein is an extension module for Python, implementing the Skein hash algorithm, one of the finalists in the NIST SHA-3 Competition. While originally based on the optimized version of the reference implementation by Doug Whiting, PySkein is now feature complete and offers a pythonic interface, all released as free software under the GNU General Public License. Its highlights are:
- Simple interface following the hash algorithms in the Python standard library (like hashlib.sha1 or hashlib.sha256)
- All features of the Skein specification (flexible digest sizes, MAC generation, tree hashing, and various other arguments)
- High performance through optimized C implementation (7.1 cycles/byte for sequential hashing and 4.2 cycles/byte for tree hashing on two cores, measured on an Athlon 64 X2)
- Threefish, the tweakable block cipher used in Skein, available for encrytion and decryption on its own
