将一些数据写入文件，然后获得文件的内容，再用使用digest::Context，digest::Digest计算 SHA-256 码。

# #[macro_use]
# extern crate error_chain;
extern crate data_encoding;
extern crate ring;

use data_encoding::HEXUPPER;
use ring::digest::{Context, Digest, SHA256};
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{BufReader, Read, Write};
#
# error_chain! {
#     foreign_links {
#         Io(std::io::Error);
#         Decode(data_encoding::DecodeError);
#     }
# }

fn sha256_digest<R: Read>(mut reader: R) -> Result<Digest> {
    let mut context = Context::new(&SHA256);
    let mut buffer = [0; 1024];

    loop {
        let count = reader.read(&mut buffer)?;
        if count == 0 {
            break;
        }
        context.update(&buffer[..count]);
    }

    Ok(context.finish())
}

fn run() -> Result<()> {
    let path = "file.txt";

    let mut output = File::create(path)?;
    write!(output, "We will generate a digest of this text")?;

    let input = File::open(path)?;
    let reader = BufReader::new(input);
    let digest = sha256_digest(reader)?;

    println!("SHA-256 digest is {}", HEXUPPER.encode(digest.as_ref()));

    Ok(())
}
#
# quick_main!(run);

使用ring::hmac创建一个hmac::Signature，然后验证签名是否正确。

extern crate ring;

use ring::{digest, hmac, rand};
use ring::rand::SecureRandom;
use ring::error::Unspecified;

fn main() -> Result<(), Unspecified> {
    let mut key_value = [0u8; 48];
    let rng = rand::SystemRandom::new();
    rng.fill(&mut key_value)?;
    let key = hmac::SigningKey::new(&digest::SHA256, &key_value);

    let message = "Legitimate and important message.";
    let signature = hmac::sign(&key, message.as_bytes());
    hmac::verify_with_own_key(&key, message.as_bytes(), signature.as_ref())?;

    Ok(())
}
