Programming in the Stone Age: SHA-1 and HMAC-SHA1 in Pure Lua
June 2nd, 2009 4:53pm JST (8 months, 7 days ago)

I've coded up SHA-1 Secure Hash computation and HMAC-SHA1 secure signature computation in pure Lua and thought I'd share them in case anyone else would find them useful. The download is over on my so-inventively-named “SHA-1 and HMAC-SHA1 in pure Lua” page.

Lua is a horrid language, so these were not trivial, but I needed them for the Twitter support I just added to some of my plugins for Adobe Lightroom (I added Twitter support to: Zenfolio, Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug, and Picasa Web). I hope someone else can get some use out of the result.

Do you feel dirty after coding for Twitter?
