Hash Generator — C++ source
Compute SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes of any text at once, using the browser's native SubtleCrypto. Copy each digest. 100% client-side.
This is the C++ implementation — the same logic the interactive tool runs, in a shareable, citable form.
// hash — SHA-1 / SHA-256 / SHA-384 / SHA-512 digest of a UTF-8 string.
//
// Language: C++ (C++17, standard library only)
// Source: CosmoDev polyglot showcase port of the `hash` tool, ported from
// src/tools/HashGenerator.tsx (the canonical TypeScript island).
// License: display source — part of CosmoDev's polyglot tool pages.
//
// The TypeScript reference delegates to `crypto.subtle.digest`, and the Rust
// port uses the RustCrypto `sha1`/`sha2` crates. The C++ standard library
// ships no cryptographic primitives, so the ecosystem equivalent would be
// OpenSSL's libcrypto (EVP_Digest) or Botan; to stay standard-library-only,
// all four digests are implemented below from FIPS 180-4, mirroring the C
// port of this tool:
//
// SHA-1 FIPS 180-4 §6.1 32-bit words, 64-byte blocks, 80 rounds
// SHA-256 FIPS 180-4 §6.2 32-bit words, 64-byte blocks, 64 rounds
// SHA-384 FIPS 180-4 §6.3.2 SHA-512 with its own IV, truncated to 6 words
// SHA-512 FIPS 180-4 §6.4 64-bit words, 128-byte blocks, 80 rounds
//
// A std::string carries no encoding, so callers pass the text's UTF-8 bytes —
// the same byte sequence a browser hands to crypto.subtle.digest. An empty
// algorithm name selects SHA-256, standing in for the optional parameter
// default the TypeScript reference declares. An unknown name throws
// std::invalid_argument — the C++ standing of the Python port's ValueError
// and the Rust port's HashError::UnknownAlgorithm.
//
// SHA-1 is offered because the tool lists it for legacy compatibility; it is
// not collision-resistant and must not authenticate anything.
