cb58ref 0.2.0

Description:

cb58ref 0.2.0

cb58ref




cb58ref is a reference implementation of the CB58 encoding used by AVA.
CB58 is similar to the Base58Check encoding used in Bitcoin

both can encode arbitrary an arbitrary byte sequence
both use the same alphabet
both append a 4 byte checksum

they differ in the following respects

CB58 uses the final 4 bytes of SHA256(msg) as the checksum.
Base58Check uses the first 4 bytes of SHA256(SHA256(msg)) as the
checksum.


Usage
>>> import cb58ref
>>> cb58ref.cb58encode(b"Hello world"):
'32UWxgjUJd9s6Kyvxjj1u'
>>> cb58ref.cb58decode('32UWxgjUJd9s6Kyvxjj1u')
b"Hello world"
$ printf "Hello world" | python3 -m cb58ref
32UWxgjUJd9s6Kyvxjj1u

$ printf "32UWxgjUJd9s6Kyvxjj1u" | python3 -m cb58ref -d
Hello world


Installation
$ python3 -m pip install cb58ref
