function blake2b : bytes -> bytes val blake2b : bytes -> bytes let blake2b: bytes => bytes

Runs the blake2b hash algorithm over the given bytes data and returns a bytes representing the hash.

function hasherman_blake (const s: bytes) : bytes is Crypto.blake2b(s)

Note that blake2b is deprecated. Please use Crypto.blake2b.

let hasherman_blake (s: bytes) : bytes = Crypto.blake2b s

let hasherman_blake = (s: bytes) => Crypto.blake2b(s);

function sha256 : bytes -> bytes val sha256 : bytes -> bytes let sha256: bytes => bytes

Runs the sha256 hash algorithm over the given bytes data and returns a bytes representing the hash.

function hasherman (const s : bytes) : bytes is Crypto.sha256(s)

Note that sha_256 is deprecated. Please use Crypto.sha256.

let hasherman (s : bytes) : bytes =
   Crypto.sha256 s

let hasherman = (s: bytes): bytes => Crypto.sha256(s);

function sha512 : bytes -> bytes val sha512 : bytes -> bytes let sha512: bytes => bytes

Runs the sha512 hash algorithm over the given bytes data and returns a bytes representing the hash.

function hasherman512 (const s: bytes) : bytes is Crypto.sha512(s)

Note that sha_512 is deprecated. Please use Crypto.sha512.

let hasherman512 (s: bytes) : bytes = Crypto.sha512 s

let hasherman512 = (s: bytes) => Crypto.sha512(s);

function hash_key : key -> key_hash val hash_key : key -> key_hash let hash_key: key => key_hash

Hashes a key for easy comparison and storage.

function check_hash_key (const kh1 : key_hash; const k2 : key) : bool * key_hash is block {
  var ret : bool := False ;
  var kh2 : key_hash := Crypto.hash_key(k2) ;
  if kh1 = kh2 then ret := True else skip; 
} with (ret, kh2)

Note that hash_key is deprecated. Please use Crypto.hash_key.

  let kh2 : key_hash = Crypto.hash_key k2 in
  if kh1 = kh2
  then (true, kh2)
  else (false, kh2)

let check_hash_key = ((kh1, k2): (key_hash, key)) : (bool, key_hash) => {
  let kh2 : key_hash = Crypto.hash_key(k2);

  }

  }
};

function check : key -> signature -> bytes -> bool val check : key -> signature -> bytes -> bool let check: (key, signature, bytes) => bool

Check that a message has been signed by a particular key.

⚠️ There is no way to generate a signed message in LIGO. This is because that would require storing a private key on chain, at which point it isn't very private anymore.

function check_signature
    (const pk: key;
     const signed: signature;
     const msg: bytes) : bool
  is Crypto.check(pk, signed, msg)

Note that crypto_check is deprecated. Please use Crypto.check.

let check_signature (pk, signed, msg: key * signature * bytes) : bool =
  Crypto.check pk signed msg

let check_signature = ((pk, signed, msg): (key, signature, bytes)) : bool => {
  Crypto.check(pk, signed, msg);
};
