SHA-1 in C on little-endian environment












1















Most implementations of SHA-1 (even on Wikipedia) I came across are coded for big-endian runtimes. So I'm trying to implement my own version for my machine (little-endian).



I've followed the pseudo-code form Wikipedia and have the following code. I found a function that converts the byte ordering but still not getting the correct output.



#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define rotateleft(x,n) ((x<<n) | (x>>(32-n)))

unsigned int endian_reverse(unsigned int n)
{
unsigned int m = 0;
m |= n << 24;
m |= ((n >> 8) << 24) >> 8;
m |= ((n << 8) >> 24) << 8;
m |= n >> 24;
return m;

    By the way endianness comes into play when reinterpreting memory, not for just general arithmetic (including bitwise operations). There is no reinterpretation in this code so it should not matter.

Am I doing my endianness conversion correctly or in the correct spot?




Endianness conversion endian_reverse(() is incorrect when unsigned is not 32-bit.



Endianness conversion not used in correct spot. Endian conversion not needed.



Other issues exists.





Code is assuming unsigned long int is 32-bit. When unsigned long int is 64-bit, I can get the same answer as OP.



Save yourself time: There is no reason to use loose types here. Use uint32_t, uint8_t. For array sizing and string lengths use size_t. Avoid signed types and constants.





By changing unsigned long --> uint32_t and dropping h0 = endian_reverse(h0); ... h7 = endian_reverse(h7); I came up with

Other suggestions.



Multiple of 64



size in str = malloc(size) should be a multiple of 64



Stay within multiples of 64



str[current_length+i]=''; can write outside allocation.



Alternate size storing



Works for all size_t values up to 264-3 - 1.



  size_t current_length = ...

// append length in bits
uint64_t current_length_bits = current_length;
current_length_bits *= 8;
for (i = 8; i > 0; ) {
i--;
str[current_length + i] = (unsigned char) current_length_bits;
current_length_bits >>= 8;
}
current_length += 8;

  • @xornoz As I see it - machine endian makes no difference in this code. It is the wrong size of the various types that is messing the code. What lines of code do you think make a difference because of machine endian?

  • @xornoz How do you see endian of h0 as important here? The constant needs to have the value of 0x67452301 regardless of machine endian.

    Actually I was wrong. You can write h0, h1... in to buffer by using >> operator. This doesn't require endian check. Some implementations use memcpy, fwrite etc. to write the memory in &h0 in to a buffer, this needs flipping the byte order for little-endian. The latter method is pointlessly complicated and is also used in many places.

Am I doing my endianness conversion correctly or in the correct spot?




Endianness conversion endian_reverse(() is incorrect when unsigned is not 32-bit.
