Whirlpool API

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart I having a hell of a time trying to wrap up an API for the Whirlpool hash... Any hint maybe?

I need to return a string from a string (just because it's easier to handle in fact)

Here's a bunch of non-sense ideas...

String ScriptingApi::Engine::getWhirlpoolHashFromString(String data)
{
	//MemoryBlock MemBlockData  = String::toHexString(data.getData(), data.getSize());

	//String myString("This is my string");

	MemoryBlock mb(data.toUTF8(), data.length());

	Whirlpool::Whirlpool(mb);

	///MemoryBlock Whirlpool::getRawData() const
	//{
	//    return MemoryBlock (result, sizeof (result));
	//}

	return "For the moment, just prout...";
}

Just hang in there, I am currently writing a few Server & FileSystem API classes myself

I don't know about Whirlpool, but I've just written a File.writeEncryptedObject(jsonData, someKey) method that uses Blowfish encryption.

@Christoph-Hart Was as simple as this

String ScriptingApi::Engine::getWhirlpoolHashFromString(String data)
{
	return Whirlpool (data.toUTF8()).toHexString();
}

It's much more secure than SHAs, and since (for the moment) I don't need encryption, a good hash is enough...
