📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new public function hash_api_key was introduced in the validation module to compute SHA-256 hashes of API keys. The sha2 dependency was added to support cryptographic hashing operations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
API Key Hashing Utility
src/validation.rs
Added hash_api_key() public function with SHA-256 cryptographic dependency to compute and return hexadecimal hash digests of API keys.

Poem

🐰 A key needs a mask, a secret disguise,
SHA-256 hashes beneath moonlit skies,
With SHA2's embrace, no API reveals,
Security deepens with cryptographic seals! 🔐

without validation; change its API to validate empty or whitespace-only keys by
returning a Result (e.g., Result<String, ValidationError>) rather than a plain
String, check if api_key.trim().is_empty() and return an appropriate Err when

Apply input validation to the new hash_api_key function for code quality.

The function added at line 129 accepts user input without validation. Per coding guidelines, all user inputs must be validated before use. While the function is not currently called in the codebase, add a validation check for empty/whitespace API keys if this function is used in production paths:

Suggested improvement
-use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};
-pub fn hash_api_key(api_key: &str) -> String {
+use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};
+
+pub fn hash_api_key(api_key: &str) -> Result<String, String> {
+    if api_key.trim().is_empty() {
+        return Err(String::from("API key cannot be empty"));
+    }
     let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
     hasher.update(api_key.as_bytes());
-    format!("{:x}", hasher.finalize())
+    Ok(format!("{:x}", hasher.finalize()))
