Hash methods

sha256

Given an array of bytes, returns the resulting sha256 hash. Specify a message_size to hash only the first message_size bytes of the input.

sha256

pub fn sha256<let N: u32>(input: [u8; N]) -> HASH

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/sha256.nr#L47-L49}}

example:

sha256_var

let digest = std::hash::sha256_var([x as u8], 1);

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/sha256/src/main.nr#L15-L17}}

fn main() {
    let x = [163, 117, 178, 149]; // some random bytes
    let hash = std::sha256::sha256_var(x, 4);
}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

blake2s

Given an array of bytes, returns an array with the Blake2 hash

blake2s

pub fn blake2s<let N: u32>(input: [u8; N]) -> [u8; 32]

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/mod.nr#L18-L20}}

example:

fn main() {
    let x = [163, 117, 178, 149]; // some random bytes
    let hash = std::hash::blake2s(x);
}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

blake3

Given an array of bytes, returns an array with the Blake3 hash

blake3

pub fn blake3<let N: u32>(input: [u8; N]) -> [u8; 32]

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/mod.nr#L24-L26}}

example:

fn main() {
    let x = [163, 117, 178, 149]; // some random bytes
    let hash = std::hash::blake3(x);
}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

pedersen_hash

Given an array of Fields, returns the Pedersen hash.

pedersen_hash

pub fn pedersen_hash<let N: u32>(input: [Field; N]) -> Field

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/mod.nr#L49-L51}}

example:

pedersen-hash

fn main(x: Field, y: Field, expected_hash: Field) {
    let hash = std::hash::pedersen_hash([x, y]);
    assert_eq(hash, expected_hash);
}

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/pedersen_hash/src/main.nr#L1-L6}}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

pedersen_commitment

Given an array of Fields, returns the Pedersen commitment.

pedersen_commitment

pub fn pedersen_commitment<let N: u32>(input: [Field; N]) -> EmbeddedCurvePoint {

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/mod.nr#L29-L31}}

example:

pedersen-commitment

fn main(x: Field, y: Field, expected_commitment: std::embedded_curve_ops::EmbeddedCurvePoint) {
    let commitment = std::hash::pedersen_commitment([x, y]);
    assert_eq(commitment.x, expected_commitment.x);
    assert_eq(commitment.y, expected_commitment.y);
}

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/pedersen_commitment/src/main.nr#L1-L7}}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

keccak256

Given an array of bytes (u8), returns the resulting keccak hash as an array of 32 bytes ([u8; 32]). Specify a message_size to hash only the first message_size bytes of the input.

keccak256

pub fn keccak256<let N: u32>(input: [u8; N], message_size: u32) -> [u8; 32]

^{_{Source code: noir_stdlib/src/hash/mod.nr#L119-L121}}

example:

keccak256

fn main(x: Field, result: [u8; 32]) {
    // We use the `as` keyword here to denote the fact that we want to take just the first byte from the x Field
    // The padding is taken care of by the program
    let digest = std::hash::keccak256([x as u8], 1);
    assert(digest == result);

    //#1399: variable message size
    let message_size = 4;
    let hash_a = std::hash::keccak256([1, 2, 3, 4], message_size);
    let hash_b = std::hash::keccak256([1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0], message_size);

    assert(hash_a == hash_b);

    let message_size_big = 8;
    let hash_c = std::hash::keccak256([1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0], message_size_big);

    assert(hash_a != hash_c);
}

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/keccak256/src/main.nr#L1-L20}}

This is a black box function. Read this section to learn more about black box functions in Noir.

poseidon

Given an array of Fields, returns a new Field with the Poseidon Hash. Mind that you need to specify how many inputs are there to your Poseidon function.

// example for hash_1, hash_2 accepts an array of length 2, etc
fn hash_1(input: [Field; 1]) -> Field

example:

poseidon

use std::hash::poseidon;

fn main(x1: [Field; 2], y1: pub Field, x2: [Field; 4], y2: pub Field) {
    let hash1 = poseidon::bn254::hash_2(x1);
    assert(hash1 == y1);

    let hash2 = poseidon::bn254::hash_4(x2);
    assert(hash2 == y2);
}

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/poseidon_bn254_hash/src/main.nr#L1-L11}}

poseidon 2

Given an array of Fields, returns a new Field with the Poseidon2 Hash. Contrary to the Poseidon function, there is only one hash and you can specify a message_size to hash only the first message_size bytes of the input,

// example for hashing the first three elements of the input
Poseidon2::hash(input, 3);

example:

poseidon2

use std::hash::poseidon2;

fn main(inputs: [Field; 4], expected_hash: Field) {
    let hash = poseidon2::Poseidon2::hash(inputs, inputs.len());
    assert_eq(hash, expected_hash);
}

^{_{Source code: test_programs/execution_success/poseidon2/src/main.nr#L1-L8}}

hash_to_field

fn hash_to_field(_input : [Field]) -> Field {}

Calculates the blake2s hash of the inputs and returns the hash modulo the field modulus to return a value which can be represented as a Field.
