I'm trying to hash a String in Swift 3 (and/or objective C) using ripemd160 to emulate the output of the following php:

$string = 'string';
$key = 'test';

hash_hmac('ripemd160', $string, $key);

// outputs: 37241f2513c60ae4d9b3b8d0d30517445f451fa5


So far:

I've tried looking into hash_hmac functionality that I can find, such as:
Implementing HMAC and SHA1 encryption in swift

enum HMACAlgorithm {
    case MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD160

    func toCCHmacAlgorithm() -> CCHmacAlgorithm {
        var result: Int = 0
        switch self {
        case .MD5:
            result = kCCHmacAlgMD5
        case .SHA1:
            result = kCCHmacAlgSHA1
        case .SHA224:
            result = kCCHmacAlgSHA224
        case .SHA256:
            result = kCCHmacAlgSHA256
        case .SHA384:
            result = kCCHmacAlgSHA384
        case .SHA512:
            result = kCCHmacAlgSHA512
        case .RIPEMD160:
            result = kCCHmacAlgRIPEMD160
        }
        return CCHmacAlgorithm(result)
    }

    func digestLength() -> Int {
        var result: CInt = 0
        switch self {
        case .MD5:
            result = CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH
        case .SHA1:
            result = CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH
        case .SHA224:
            result = CC_SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH
        case .SHA256:
            result = CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH
        case .SHA384:
            result = CC_SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH
        case .SHA512:
            result = CC_SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH
        }
        return Int(result)
    }
}

extension String {
    func hmac(algorithm: HMACAlgorithm, key: String) -> String {
        let cKey = key.cString(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
        let cData = self.cString(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
        var result = [CUnsignedChar](repeating: 0, count: Int(algorithm.digestLength()))
        CCHmac(algorithm.toCCHmacAlgorithm(), cKey!, Int(strlen(cKey!)), cData!, Int(strlen(cData!)), &result)
        let hmacData:NSData = NSData(bytes: result, length: (Int(algorithm.digestLength())))
        let hmacBase64 = hmacData.base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions.lineLength76Characters)
        return String(hmacBase64)
    }
}

and to implement:

let hmacResult: String = "myStringToHMAC".hmac(algorithm: HMACAlgorithm.SHA1, key: "foo")

This enables me to successfully hash a string using hmac and one of the encryption algorithms provided by <CommonCrypto/CommonHMAC.h>

Issue

The issue is that library doesn't provide support for ripemd160, so how can I add this support in to be able to accomplish what I need?


There is a question exactly the same as this but in Java here, you can see how that was solved and exactly what I'm looking for but this time using Swift 3:
Hash a string in Java emulating the php function hash_hmac using ripemd160 with a key

    It's Swift 1.something but it shouldn't be impossible to port it to Swift 3 https://rosettacode.org/wiki/RIPEMD-160#Swift – JeremyP Mar 31 '17 at 11:18
  • @JeremyP: I did that, and it turned out to be very slow (factor >50), compared to a C-based solution (as suggested by Jens), or my Swift translation of C code. – Martin R Apr 06 '17 at 11:11

Here is a (self-contained) pure Swift 5 implementation of the RIPEMD-160 hash function and the corresponding HMAC-RIPEMD-160 message authentication code. It has been tested with all test vectors on the RIPEMD-160 page (tested on macOS, 32-bit iOS, 64-bit iOS).

The code for Swift 3 can be found in the edit history.

This is a translation of the reference implementation rmd160.h, rmd160.c from the RIPEMD-160 page from C to Swift. I translated the helper macros and the compress() function (the "heart" of the algorithm) as "verbatim" as possible. This allowed me to copy/paste large C code segments and make only minor adjustments for Swift.

The update() and finalize() methods provide a streaming interface, similar to that of the CommonCrypto functions.

RIPEMD160.swift:

import Foundation

public struct RIPEMD160 {

    private var MDbuf: (UInt32, UInt32, UInt32, UInt32, UInt32)
    private var buffer: Data
    private var count: Int64 // Total # of bytes processed.

    public init() {
        MDbuf = (0x67452301, 0xefcdab89, 0x98badcfe, 0x10325476, 0xc3d2e1f0)
        buffer = Data()
        count = 0
    }

    private mutating func compress(_ X: UnsafePointer<UInt32>) {

        // *** Helper functions (originally macros in rmd160.h) ***

        /* ROL(x, n) cyclically rotates x over n bits to the left */
        /* x must be of an unsigned 32 bits type and 0 <= n < 32. */
        func ROL(_ x: UInt32, _ n: UInt32) -> UInt32 {
            return (x << n) | ( x >> (32 - n))
        }

        /* the five basic functions F(), G() and H() */

        func F(_ x: UInt32, _ y: UInt32, _ z: UInt32) -> UInt32 {
            return x ^ y ^ z
        }

        func G(_ x: UInt32, _ y: UInt32, _ z: UInt32) -> UInt32 {
            return (x & y) | (~x & z)
        }

        func H(_ x: UInt32, _ y: UInt32, _ z: UInt32) -> UInt32 {
            return (x | ~y) ^ z
        }

        func I(_ x: UInt32, _ y: UInt32, _ z: UInt32) -> UInt32 {
            return (x & z) | (y & ~z)
        }

        func J(_ x: UInt32, _ y: UInt32, _ z: UInt32) -> UInt32 {

        return result.withUnsafeBytes { Data($0) }
    }
}

And here are "one-shot" functions to compute the hash of a message (given as Data or as String):

RIPEMD160-Ext.swift:

import Foundation

public extension RIPEMD160 {

    static func hash(message: Data) -> Data {
        var md = RIPEMD160()
        md.update(data: message)
        return md.finalize()
    }

    static func hash(message: String) -> Data {
        return RIPEMD160.hash(message: message.data(using: .utf8)!)
    }
}

Finally, the corresponding message authentication code. The algorithm is taken from the pseudo-code at Wikipedia: Hash-based message authentication code:

RIPEMD160-HMAC.swift:

import Foundation

public extension RIPEMD160 {

    static func hmac(key: Data, message: Data) -> Data {

        var key = key
        key.count = 64 // Truncate to 64 bytes or fill-up with zeros.

        let outerKeyPad = Data(key.map { $0 ^ 0x5c })
        let innerKeyPad = Data(key.map { $0 ^ 0x36 })

        var innerMd = RIPEMD160()
        innerMd.update(data: innerKeyPad)
        innerMd.update(data: message)

        var outerMd = RIPEMD160()
        outerMd.update(data: outerKeyPad)
        outerMd.update(data: innerMd.finalize())

        return outerMd.finalize()
    }

    static func hmac(key: Data, message: String) -> Data {
        return RIPEMD160.hmac(key: key, message: message.data(using: .utf8)!)
    }

    static func hmac(key: String, message: String) -> Data {
        return RIPEMD160.hmac(key: key.data(using: .utf8)!, message: message)
    }
}

Examples

To print the message digest as a hex-encoded string, the following method from How to convert Data to hex string in swift can be used:

extension Data {
    func hexEncodedString() -> String {
        return map { String(format: "%02hhx", $0) }.joined()
    }
}

Example 1:

let msg = "Hello World"
let hash = RIPEMD160.hash(message: msg).hexEncodedString()
print(hash) // a830d7beb04eb7549ce990fb7dc962e499a27230

Example 2 (your example):

let hmac = RIPEMD160.hmac(key: "test", message: "string").hexEncodedString()
print(hmac) // 37241f2513c60ae4d9b3b8d0d30517445f451fa5

  • The above code assumes a little-endian architecture (which all current iOS and macOS platforms are). It can be generalized to arbitrary byte order, if necessary. – Martin R Apr 03 '17 at 21:19

    Nice! I made a Swift Package with your code, and included tests for all the vector examples on the reference page. https://github.com/darkFunction/SwiftRIPEMD160 – Sam Apr 11 '18 at 20:42
  • I have migrated a RIPEMD160 impl in Swift 5 (based on the work on Sjors Provoost), which can be found here: https://gist.github.com/Sajjon/cd17a0e09bcc5ff9b1a4d5be3da29b64 However, the answer provided by Martin R here is 10 times faster. But Sjors was easier to migrate to Swift 5. All those `withUnsafeBytes` warnings in Swift 5 was tricky to solve. – Sajjon Apr 08 '19 at 19:48
  • @Sajjon: I have updated the above code to Swift 5, any feedback is welcome. – Martin R Apr 08 '19 at 20:24
  • Damn, that was fast @MartinR! You rock! – Sajjon Apr 09 '19 at 07:23
  • Here are the test vectors in Swift 5 (Swift 4 compatible I guess) if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/Sajjon/95f0c72ca72f0b6985d550b80eff536d Probably identical to what Martin used when he implemented this... – Sajjon Apr 09 '19 at 17:52
  • @MartinR It would be convenient if your RIPEMD160 was part of CryptoSwift: https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/CryptoSwift Do you wanna do a PR? Or should I? Crediting this SO post ofc... – Sajjon Apr 11 '19 at 12:47
  • @Sajjon: I won't have the time, but you are welcome to use that code in any way you like (according to the SO license terms). It may be necessary to include the license terms from the original C code (I am not a license expert). – Martin R Apr 11 '19 at 13:29

As you have already figured out ripemd160 is unsupported in CommonCrypto. Therefore, you need to use some external crypto library. There are (at least) two libraries that you can use in Swift/Objective-C: OpenSSL or Crypto++.

OpenSSL

Here is the code for calculating the hmac hash with ripemd160 using OpenSSL:

+ (NSString *)ripemd160WithKey:(NSString *)aKey andData:(NSString *)aData {
   const char* key = [aKey cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
   const char* data = [aData cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
   unsigned char* digest;
   digest = HMAC(EVP_ripemd160(), key, (int)strlen(key), (unsigned char*)data, strlen(data), NULL, NULL);
   NSMutableString* str = [NSMutableString string];
   for(int i = 0; i < RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++) {
      [str appendFormat:@"%02x", (unsigned int)digest[i]];
   }
   return str;
}

I have setup an example for iOS based on Felix Schulze's OpenSSL for iPhone library that you can also compile for watchOS, macOS or tvOS.

  1. Clone the repository from my GitHub account.
  2. Open Terminal and change directory to the repository folder cd OpenSSL-for-iPhone
  3. Run ./build-libssl.sh to download and compile the openSSL sources
  4. Open OpenSSL-for-iOS.xcodeproj with Xcode
  5. Run OpenSSL-for-iOS on either iOS Simulator or on your phone

As you can see in the ViewController.swift you just need to call FSOpenSSL.ripemd160(withKey: "test", andData: "string") with the corresponding parameters. You can play with different values via the UI.

Hope that helps.
