XEP-0300: Use of Cryptographic Hash Functions in XMPP

compute_hash(filename=None, function=None, *, data=None, file=None)

Overloads:

• self, filename (str | Path), function (str | None), data (None), file (None) → Hash

• self, filename (None), function (str | None), data (bytes), file (None) → Hash

• self, filename (None), function (str | None), data (None), file (IO[bytes]) → Hash

Compute the hash of a file, and return the relevant hash XML element.

Parameters:

• filename (str | Path | None) – Path of the file to hash.

• function (str | None) – Name of the hash function to use. If left empty, the preferred function set in self.preferred will be used.

Returns:

A Hash element.

default_config: ClassVar[dict] = {'block_size': 1048576, 'enable_BLAKE2b256': True, 'enable_BLAKE2b512': True, 'enable_sha-1': False, 'enable_sha-256': True, 'enable_sha-512': True, 'enable_sha3-256': True, 'enable_sha3-512': True, 'preferred': 'sha-256'}

The basic, standard configuration for the plugin, which may be overridden when initializing the plugin. The configuration fields included here may be accessed directly as attributes of the plugin. For example, including the configuration field ‘foo’ would mean accessing plugin.foo returns the current value of plugin.config[‘foo’].

Stanza elements

class slixmpp.plugins.xep_0300.stanza.Hash(xml=None, parent=None)

Hash element, contains the name of the hash algorithm and the matching digest.

<hash xmlns='urn:xmpp:hashes:2' algo='sha-256'>2XarmwTlNxDAMkvymloX3S5+VbylNrJt/l5QyPa+YoU=</hash>

allowed_algos = ['sha-1', 'sha-256', 'sha-512', 'sha3-256', 'sha3-512', 'BLAKE2b256', 'BLAKE2b512']

interfaces: ClassVar[set[str]] = {'algo', 'value'}

The set of keys that the stanza provides for accessing and manipulating the underlying XML object. This set may be augmented with the plugin_attrib value of any registered stanza plugins.

name: ClassVar[str] = 'hash'

The XML tag name of the element, not including any namespace prefixes. For example, an ElementBase object for <message /> would use name = 'message'.

namespace: str = 'urn:xmpp:hashes:2'

The XML namespace for the element. Given <foo xmlns="bar" />, then namespace = "bar" should be used. The default namespace is jabber:client since this is being used in an XMPP library.

plugin_attrib: ClassVar[str] = 'hash'

For ElementBase subclasses which are intended to be used as plugins, the plugin_attrib value defines the plugin name. Plugins may be accessed by using the plugin_attrib value as the interface. An example using plugin_attrib = 'foo':

register_stanza_plugin(Message, FooPlugin)
msg = Message()
msg['foo']['an_interface_from_the_foo_plugin']
