sha1.lua

This pure-Lua module computes SHA-1 and HMAC-SHA1 signature computations in Lua 3.2.

Usage

local sha1 = dofile('sha1.lua')

local hash_as_hex   = sha1(message)            -- returns a hex string
local hash_as_data  = sha1.binary(message)     -- returns raw bytes

local hmac_as_hex   = sha1.hmac(key, message)        -- hex string
local hmac_as_data  = sha1.hmac_binary(key, message) -- raw bytes

Converted to lua 3.2 by Alex Silva and Optimized by Alessandro Hecht

This is a cleanup of an implementation by Eike Decker - http://cube3d.de/uploads/Main/sha1.txt (lua 5.1),

Which in turn was based on an original implementation by Jeffrey Friedl - http://regex.info/blog/lua/sha1 (lua 5.1)

The original algorithm is http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip180-1.htm
