Keccaky

Keccaky is a high-performance Keccak (SHA-3) implementation with a Gleam interface, providing easy access to Keccak-256 hashing through a Rust backend. The project leverages Rust's efficient hashing algorithms and integrates them with Gleam for high-level usage.

Features

• Keccak-256 Hashing: Provides Keccak-256 hash functionality using the tiny-keccak Rust library.
• Gleam Integration: Exposes the hashing functionality to Gleam via an FFI layer.
• Cross-Language Compatibility: Utilizes Rust for performance and Gleam for ease of use and safety.

Installation

Rust Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vidalpaul/keccaky.git
   cd keccaky

2. Build the Rust Library: Ensure you have Rust installed. Build the Rust shared library:

   cargo build --release

   The shared library will be available in the target/release directory.

Gleam Setup

1. Install Gleam: Follow the Gleam installation instructions if you haven't already.

2. Build the Gleam Project: Ensure the shared library is placed in the correct directory (src/native or specified path). Then build the Gleam project:

   gleam build

Usage

Rust FFI

The Rust function keccak_256 is exposed to Gleam. The function signature is:

extern "C" fn keccak_256(input_ptr: *const u8, input_len: usize, output_ptr: *mut u8);

Gleam Integration

In Gleam, you can call the Keccak-256 hash function using:

import gleam/erlang
import gleam/ffi

// External function declaration for FFI
@external(erlang, "keccak_ffi", "keccak_256")
fn keccak_256(input: ffi.Buffer, input_len: Int, output: ffi.Buffer) -> Nil

// Function to hash a string using Keccak-256
pub fn hash_keccak_256(input: String) -> Result(String, Nil) {
  let input_bytes = erlang.binary_to_list(erlang.bitstring_to_binary(input))
  let output_size = 32
  let output_bytes = ffi.Buffer.from_binary(erlang.binary_init(output_size, 0))

  keccak_256(input_bytes, List.length(input_bytes), output_bytes)

  let output_binary = ffi.Buffer.to_binary(output_bytes)
  Ok(erlang.binary_to_string(output_binary))
}

Testing

To ensure everything is working correctly, run tests in Rust and Gleam:

• Rust Tests:

  cargo test

• Gleam Tests:

  gleam test
