Module define byte sources.

Byte sources.

Cryptographic input come from various sources; they can come from network sockets or might be just a string in the Haskell. To give a uniform interfaces for all such inputs, we define the abstract concept of a byte source. Essentially a byte source is one from which we can fill a buffer with bytes.

Among instances of ByteSource, some like for example ByteString are pure in the sense filling a buffer with bytes from such a source has no other side-effects. This is in contrast to a source like a sockets. The type class PureByteSource captures such byte sources.

class ByteSource src where

Abstract byte sources. A bytesource is something that you can use to fill a buffer.

WARNING: The source is required to return Exhausted in the boundary case where it has exactly the number of bytes requested. In other words, if the source returns Remaining on any particular request, there should be at least 1 additional byte left on the source for the next request. Cryptographic block primitives have do certain special processing for the last block and it is required to know whether the last block has been read or not.

class ByteSource src => PureByteSource src

A byte source src is pure if filling from it does not have any other side effect on the state of the byte source. Formally, two different fills form the same source should fill the buffer with the same bytes. This additional constraint on the source helps to purify certain crypto computations like computing the hash or mac of the source. Usualy sources like ByteString etc are pure byte sources. A file handle is a byte source that is not a pure source.
