I am trying to translate some perl code to python and I need some advice on
making fixed sized strings. The perl code creates a sha1 signatured using a
key and a 'pad'. It creates fixed sized strings as follows:
my $klen = length($key);
my $blen = 64;
my $ipad = chr(0x36)x$blen;
my $opad = chr(0x5c)x$blen;
I don't know if I ever seen any way in python of created a fixed size
string. Can anyone show me how to implement the same statements in python?
Next, it zero-fills a string to a certain size.
if($klen <= $blen) {
$key .= "\0"x($blen-length($key)); #zero-fill to blocksize
} else {
$key = sha1($key); #if longer, pre-hash key
}
Finally it concatenates and xors these strings together like this:
return sha1($key^$opad . sha1($key^$ipad . $data));
I when python XOR's strings, is it the same as when perl xor's them?
