Eelco Dolstra	d58a11e019	* Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160 ... bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits and letters except e, o, u, and t). This produces store paths like /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1. The nice thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32 characters, as before with MD5. (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)	2005-01-14 16:04:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	9530cc3170	* Start move towards SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5. ... * Start cleaning up unique store path generation (they weren't always unique; in particular the suffix ("-aterm-2.2", "-builder.sh") was not part of the hash, therefore changes to the suffix would cause multiple store objects with the same hash).	2005-01-14 13:51:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	63791eb05b	* Add SHA-256. ... * Tests for the various hashes.	2005-01-14 12:03:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	7e8961f720	* Added SHA-1 support. nix-hash' now has an option --type sha1' to ... select SHA-1 hashing.	2005-01-13 17:39:26 +00:00
