haskell@gentoo.org Gentoo Haskell A practical incremental and one-pass, pure API to the <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 SHA-256 hash algorithm> with performance close to the fastest implementations available in other languages. The implementation is made in C with a haskell FFI wrapper that hides the C implementation. NOTE: This package has been forked off @cryptohash-0.11.7@ because the @cryptohash@ has been deprecated and so this package continues to satisfy the need for a lightweight package providing the SHA256 hash algorithm without any dependencies on packages other than @base@ and @bytestring@. Consequently, this package can be used as a drop-in replacement for @cryptohash@'s "Crypto.Hash.SHA256" module, though with a clearly smaller footprint. hvr/cryptohash-sha256
