Compact hash representations of arbitrary R objects

Overview

The digest package provides a principal function digest() for the creation of hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the md5, sha-1, sha-256, crc32, xxhash, murmurhash, spookyhash, blake3, and crc32c algorithms) permitting easy comparison of R language objects.

Extensive documentation is available at the package documentation site.

Examples

As R can serialize any object, we can run digest() on any object:

R> library(digest)
R> digest(trees)
[1] "12412cbfa6629c5c80029209b2717f08"
R> digest(lm(log(Height) ~ log(Girth), data=trees))
[1] "e25b62de327d079b3ccb98f3e96987b1"
R> digest(summary(lm(log(Height) ~ log(Girth), data=trees)))
[1] "86c8c979ee41a09006949e2ad95feb41"
R>

By using the hash sum, which is very likely to be unique, to identify an underlying object or calculation, one can easily implement caching strategies. This is a common use of the digest package.

Other Functions

A small number of additional functions is available:

  • sha1() for numerally stable hashsums,
  • hmac() for hashed message authentication codes based on a key,
  • AES() for Advanced Encryption Standard block ciphers.

Note

Please note that this package is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes. More comprehensive and widely tested libraries such as OpenSSL should be used instead.

Installation

The package is on CRAN and can be installed via a standard

install.packages("digest")

Continued Testing

As we rely on the tinytest package, the already-installed package can also be verified via

tinytest::test_package("digest")

at any later point.
