Set up this registry in the Cargo configuration file (for example ~/.cargo/config.toml):

[registry]
default = "gitea"

[registries.gitea]
index = "sparse+" # Sparse index
# index = "" # Git

[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true

To install the package using Cargo, run the following command:

cargo add ghash@0.5.1

Universal hash over GF(2^128) useful for constructing a Message Authentication Code (MAC), as in the AES-GCM authenticated encryption cipher.

RustCrypto: GHASH

GHASH is a universal hash function which operates over GF(2^128) and can be used for constructing a Message Authentication Code (MAC).

Its primary intended use is for implementing AES-GCM.

Security

⚠️ Warning: Hazmat!

Universal hash functions have subtle security properties and using them correctly is difficult. See the toplevel README.md for more information.

Notes

This crate has received one security audit by NCC Group, with no significant findings. We would like to thank MobileCoin for funding the audit.

All implementations contained in the crate are designed to execute in constant time, either by relying on hardware intrinsics (i.e. AVX2 on x86/x86_64), or using a portable implementation which is only constant time on processors which implement constant-time multiplication.

It is not suitable for use on processors with a variable-time multiplication operation (e.g. short circuit on multiply-by-zero / multiply-by-one, such as certain 32-bit PowerPC CPUs and some non-ARM microcontrollers).
