⚠️There's a newer version (0.6.37) of this package.Take me there.

digest (version 0.1.2)

Create cryptographic hash digests of R objects

Description

The digest package provides two functions for the creation of `hash' digests of arbitrary R objects using the md5 and sha-1 algorithms permitting easy comparison of R language objects. The md5 algorithm by Ron Rivest is specified in RFC 1321. The SHA-1 algorithm is specified in FIPS-180-1. This packages uses two small standalone C implementations (that were provided by by Christophe Devine) of the md5 and sha-1 algorithms. Please note that this package is not meant to be used for cryptographic purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as OpenSSL should be used.
