Hello!
I'm pleased to announce the first version of the skein package [1]! Skein is a family of fast secure cryptographic hash functions [2]. The skein package provides high-level bindings (using crypto-api [3]) to the optimized Skein C library. Currently we support Skein as a hash function and also Skein as a message authentication code (MAC). The code is well-documented with examples and has many known answer tests (KATs). It currently lives on patch-tag [4].
Hackage will be build the docs soon enough. Meanwhile, here's a short example: Hi Felipe,
it's good to see more Skein stuff. it's a great crypto hash and one of the few remaining candidate for SHA-3. Have you seen the cryptohash package http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cryptohash ? I always wanted to expose more skein operations specially the hmac function, but never came around to, and maybe it would be good to merge to avoid duplicating efforts ? -- Vincent
