A "pure" scheme implementation (R5RS) of SHA256?

Question

I can use SHA256 in Scheme using external libraries (Java, C or system dependent) or using a specific Scheme implementation (like Chicken e.g.), but I wonder if there is a "pure" scheme implementation.

Answer 1

I wrote an implementation today. Alas, R5RS has neither bytevectors nor binary I/O, so this uses the R7RS APIs for bytevectors and binary I/O. It should be easy to bridge those APIs to your Scheme implementation's native APIs (for example, I actually tested my implementation on Racket and Guile).

A few notes:

• This code assumes case-sensitivity. This is the default for R7RS, but not R5RS, so if you're using an R5RS implementation, beware.
• It requires SRFIs 1, 26, 43, and 60.
• I emphasise elegance and clarity over speed. In fact, the code is quite slow.
• Contrary to what my profile says, I'm only licensing this code under the Apache Licence 2.0 (in addition to the standard Stack Overflow licence of CC BY-SA 3.0), and not under CC0 or anything resembling public domain.

Anyway, without further ado, here it is (also available as a Gist):

I implemented all the algorithms in FIPS 180-4, but you can strip out whatever you don't need.

As mentioned before, I tested this on Racket; the definitions I added to bridge to Racket's APIs are as follows:

#lang racket
(require (only-in srfi/1 iota)
         (only-in srfi/26 cut)
         (only-in srfi/43 vector-unfold)
         (only-in srfi/60 bitwise-if rotate-bit-field)
         (rename-in racket/base [build-list list-tabulate]
                                [bytes-copy! bytevector-copy!]
                                [bytes-length bytevector-length]
                                [bytes-ref bytevector-u8-ref]
                                [bytes-set! bytevector-u8-set!]
                                [foldl fold]
                                [make-bytes make-bytevector]
                                [read-bytes! read-bytevector!]
                                [string->bytes/utf-8 string->utf8]
                                [subbytes bytevector-copy]))

And here are the definitions for Guile (requires version 2.0.11 or above):

(use-modules (srfi srfi-1) (srfi srfi-26) (srfi srfi-43) (srfi srfi-60)
             (rnrs bytevectors) (ice-9 binary-ports))

(define* (bytevector-copy bv #:optional (start 0) (end (bytevector-length bv)))
  (define copy (make-bytevector (- end start)))
  (bytevector-copy! copy 0 bv start end)
  copy)
(define* (bytevector-copy! to at from #:optional (start 0)
                                                 (end (bytevector-length from)))
  ((@ (rnrs bytevectors) bytevector-copy!) from start to at (- end start)))
(define* (read-bytevector! bv #:optional (port (current-input-port)) (start 0)
                                         (end (bytevector-length bv)))
  (get-bytevector-n! port bv start (- end start)))

It should be easy to make something similar for your chosen implementation.

I also have a function that prints out the output as a hex string, for ready comparison with various command-line SHA-1 and SHA-2 utilities (e.g., sha1sum, sha256sum, sha512sum, etc.):

(define (hex bv)
  (define out (open-output-string))
  (do ((i 0 (+ i 1)))
      ((>= i (bytevector-length bv)) (get-output-string out))
    (let-values (((q r) (truncate/ (bytevector-u8-ref bv i) 16)))
      (display (number->string q 16) out)
      (display (number->string r 16) out))))
