YASMF-Hash

Yet-Another-Smol-Multi-Format - Hash

Forked from YAMF Hash but with smol 32 bit digest length using blake3.

Self-describing cryptographic hashes. Unlike the multiformats one, this does not try to capture as many hash functions as possible, rather it starts out with a single one and will add new ones only when the old one gets broken.

A yamf-hash is a pair of a numeric identifier for a hash function, and a hash digest. The currently supported functions:

Hash Function Numeric Id Digest Length (Bytes)
Blake3 0 32

Binary Encoding

The binary encoding of a yamf-hash is the binary stlv encoding with the numeric id from the above table as the type, and the digest as the value.

A canonic binary yamf-hash uses the canonic binary encoding of the stlv.
