Morax

WebAssembly port of RustCrypto’s SHA-1, a Rust implementation of SHA-1 hashing.

npm i @hazae41/morax

Node Package 📦Deno Module 🦖Next.js CodeSandbox 🪣

Use case

This WebAssembly module is useful when you want to use SHA-1 incrementially, as WebCrypto doesn’t support incremental hashing, and want good performances.

Performances Incremental hashing
Morax ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WebCrypto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
JavaScript ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Usage

import { Morax, Sha1Hasher } from "@hazae41/morax";

// Wait for WASM to load
Morax.initSyncBundledOnce()

// Create a hash
const hasher = new Sha1Hasher()

// Data to be hashed
const hello = new TextEncoder().encode("Hello World")

// Update the hash with your data
hasher.update(hello)

// Grab the digest (20 bytes)
const digest = hasher.finalize()

// Update the hash another time
hasher.update(hello)

// Grab the digest (20 bytes)
const digest2 = hasher.finalize()

// digest !== digest2
console.log(digest)
console.log(digest2)

Unreproducible building

You need to install Rust

Then, install wasm-pack

cargo install wasm-pack

Finally, do a clean install and build

npm ci && npm run build

Reproducible building

You can build the exact same bytecode using Docker, just be sure you’re on a linux/amd64 host

docker compose up --build

Then check that all the files are the same using git status

git status --porcelain

If the output is empty then the bytecode is the same as the one I commited

Automated checks

Each time I commit to the repository, the GitHub’s CI does the following:

  • Clone the repository
  • Reproduce the build using docker compose up --build
  • Throw an error if the git status --porcelain output is not empty

Each time I release a new version tag on GitHub, the GitHub’s CI does the following:

  • Clone the repository
  • Do not reproduce the build, as it’s already checked by the task above
  • Throw an error if there is a npm diff between the cloned repository and the same version tag on NPM

If a version is present on NPM but not on GitHub, do not use!
