|
|
|
|
Common digest package used across the container ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
Please see the [godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/opencontainers/go-digest) for more information.

# What is a digest?
|
|
|
|
A digest is just a hash.
|
|
|
|
The most common use case for a digest is to create a content
|
|
identifier for use in [Content Addressable Storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage)
|
|
systems:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
id := digest.FromBytes([]byte("my content"))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the example above, the id can be used to uniquely identify
|
|
the byte slice "my content". This allows two disparate applications
|
|
to agree on a verifiable identifier without having to trust one
|
|
another.
|
|
|
|
An identifying digest can be verified, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
if id != digest.FromBytes([]byte("my content")) {
|
|
return errors.New("the content has changed!")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A `Verifier` type can be used to handle cases where an `io.Reader`
|
|
makes more sense:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
rd := getContent()
|
|
verifier := id.Verifier()
|
|
io.Copy(verifier, rd)
|
|
|
|
if !verifier.Verified() {
|
|
return errors.New("the content has changed!")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using [Merkle DAGs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree), this
|
|
can power a rich, safe, content distribution system.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
While the [godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/opencontainers/go-digest) is
|
|
considered the best resource, a few important items need to be called
|
|
out when using this package.
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure to import the hash implementations into your application
|
|
or the package will panic. You should have something like the
|
|
following in the main (or other entrypoint) of your application:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
_ "crypto/sha256"
|
|
_ "crypto/sha512"
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
This may seem inconvenient but it allows you replace the hash
|
|
implementations with others, such as https://github.com/stevvooe/resumable.
|
|
|
|
2. Even though `digest.Digest` may be assemable as a string, _always_
|
|
verify your input with `digest.Parse` or use `Digest.Validate`
|
|
when accepting untrusted input. While there are measures to
|
|
avoid common problems, this will ensure you have valid digests
|
|
in the rest of your application.
|
|
|
|
# Stability
|
|
|
|
The Go API, at this stage, is considered stable, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
As always, before using a package export, read the [godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/opencontainers/go-digest).
|
|
|
|
# Contributing
|
|
|
|
This package is considered fairly complete. It has been in production
|
|
in thousands (millions?) of deployments and is fairly battle-hardened.
|
|
New additions will be met with skepticism. If you think there is a
|
|
missing feature, please file a bug clearly describing the problem and
|
|
the alternatives you tried before submitting a PR.

# Reporting security issues
|
|
|
|
Please DO NOT file a public issue, instead send your report privately to
|
|
security@opencontainers.org.
|
|
|
|
The maintainers take security seriously. If you discover a security issue,
|
|
please bring it to their attention right away!
|
|
|
|
If you are reporting a security issue, do not create an issue or file a pull
|
|
request on GitHub. Instead, disclose the issue responsibly by sending an email
|
|
to security@opencontainers.org (which is inhabited only by the maintainers of
|
|
the various OCI projects).
