# Cryptographic and Security Functions
Sprig provides a couple of advanced cryptographic functions.
## sha1sum
The `sha1sum` function receives a string, and computes it's SHA1 digest.
```
sha1sum "Hello world!"
```
## sha256sum
The `sha256sum` function receives a string, and computes it's SHA256 digest.
```
sha256sum "Hello world!"
```
The above will compute the SHA 256 sum in an "ASCII armored" format that is
safe to print.
## derivePassword
The `derivePassword` function can be used to derive a specific password based on
some shared "master password" constraints. The algorithm for this is
[well specified](http://masterpasswordapp.com/algorithm.html).
```
derivePassword 1 "long" "password" "user" "example.com"
```
Note that it is considered insecure to store the parts directly in the template.
## genPrivateKey
The `genPrivateKey` function generates a new private key encoded into a PEM
block.
It takes one of the values for its first param:
- `ecdsa`: Generate an elyptical curve DSA key (P256)
- `dsa`: Generate a DSA key (L2048N256)
- `rsa`: Generate an RSA 4096 key
## buildCustomCert
The `buildCustomCert` function allows customizing the certificate.
It takes the following string parameters:
- A base64 encoded PEM format certificate
- A base64 encoded PEM format private key
It returns a certificate object with the following attributes:
- `Cert`: A PEM-encoded certificate
- `Key`: A PEM-encoded private key
Example:
```
$ca := buildCustomCert "base64-encoded-ca-key" "base64-encoded-ca-crt"
```
Note that the returned object can be passed to the `genSignedCert` function
to sign a certificate using this CA.
## genCA
The `genCA` function generates a new, self-signed x509 certificate authority.
It takes the following parameters:
- Subject's common name (cn)
- Cert validity duration in days
It returns an object with the following attributes:
- `Cert`: A PEM-encoded certificate
- `Key`: A PEM-encoded private key
Example:
```
$ca := genCA "foo-ca" 365
```
Note that the returned object can be passed to the `genSignedCert` function
to sign a certificate using this CA.
## genSelfSignedCert
The `genSelfSignedCert` function generates a new, self-signed x509 certificate.
It takes the following parameters:
- Subject's common name (cn)
- Optional list of IPs; may be nil
- Optional list of alternate DNS names; may be nil
- Cert validity duration in days
It returns an object with the following attributes:
- `Cert`: A PEM-encoded certificate
- `Key`: A PEM-encoded private key
Example:
```
$cert := genSelfSignedCert "foo.com" (list "10.0.0.1" "10.0.0.2") (list "bar.com" "bat.com") 365
```
## genSignedCert
The `genSignedCert` function generates a new, x509 certificate signed by the
specified CA.
It takes the following parameters:
- Subject's common name (cn)
- Optional list of IPs; may be nil
- Optional list of alternate DNS names; may be nil
- Cert validity duration in days
- CA (see `genCA`)
Example:
```
$ca := genCA "foo-ca" 365
$cert := genSignedCert "foo.com" (list "10.0.0.1" "10.0.0.2") (list "bar.com" "bat.com") 365 $ca
```
