Package digest provides a generalized type to opaquely represent message digests and their operations within the registry. The Digest type is designed to serve as a flexible identifier in a content-addressable system. More importantly, it provides tools and wrappers to work with hash.Hash-based digests with little effort. The format of a digest is simply a string with two parts, dubbed the "algorithm" and the "digest", separated by a colon: An example of a sha256 digest representation follows: The "algorithm" portion defines both the hashing algorithm used to calculate the digest and the encoding of the resulting digest, which defaults to "hex" if not otherwise specified. Currently, all supported algorithms have their digests encoded in hex strings. In the example above, the string "sha256" is the algorithm and the hex bytes are the "digest". Because the Digest type is simply a string, once a valid Digest is obtained, comparisons are cheap, quick and simple to express with the standard equality operator. The main benefit of using the Digest type is simple verification against a given digest. The Verifier interface, modeled after the stdlib hash.Hash interface, provides a common write sink for digest verification. After writing is complete, calling the Verifier.Verified method will indicate whether or not the stream of bytes matches the target digest. In addition to the above, we intend to add the following features to this package: 1. A Digester type that supports write sink digest calculation. 2. Suspend and resume of ongoing digest calculations to support efficient digest verification in the registry.
