Hi Mike,
Question about point 4. Could you help me clear the confusion?
4) The name of the HashApiLib instance should be "BaseHashApiLib" and the
should be in the CryptoPkg/Library/BaseHashApiLib directory with
files BashHashApiLib.inf, BaseHashApiLib.c, and BaseHashApiLib.uni.
BASE_NAME in BaseHashApiLib.iunf should also be BaseHashApiLib.
Perhaps I am not very clear but it appears you are contradicting your earlier feedback:
I have received feedback before against the use of the term "Base" in the name of a library class. It causes confusion because the term "Base" usually applies to the library implementation to describe the module type compatibility of the lib instance. Take BaseCryptLib class as an example. There are instances of this library that are specific to PEI, DXE, SMM, and Runtime. If we look at the entire edk2 repo, there are only 3 lib classes that start with the term "Base":
BaseLib - OK. Single instance of type BASE.
BaseMemoryLib - Confusing. BASE, PEI, DXE versions
BaseCryptLib - Confusing. PEI, DXE, SMM, RT versions
I also see the BaseHashLib service names use "HashApi".
In order to address both the use of the term "Base" and The inconsistency between the lib class name and the lib service names, I recommend the lib class be changed from "BaseHashLib" to "HashApiLib" along with a few other name changes to scope defines and types to the HashApiLib:
BaseHashLib -> HashApiLib
HASH_HANDLE -> HASH_API_CONTEXT
HASH_INVALID -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_INVALID
HASH_MD4 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_MD4
HASH_MD5 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_MD5
HASH_SHA1 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_SHA1
HASH_SHA256 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_SHA256
HASH_SHA384 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_SHA384
HASH_SHA512 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_SHA512
HASH_SM3_256 -> HASH_API_ALGORITHM_SM3_256
HASH_MAX -> Remove. Not used.
Some file name a directory names changes would also be required to follow this same pattern.
Thanks,
Amol

Amol,
1) Typo in CryptoPkg.dec. Should be Crypto Package, not Security package.
[Guids]
## Security package token space guid.
2) CryptoPkg.dec/uni. I see the default value for PcdHashApiLibPolicy
is 0x04. This is documented to be SHA256. The DEC/UNI file
descriptions of this PCD should state that the default policy is
SHA256. This makes it clear to platform developers that maintain
DSC files what the default policy is.
3) CryptoPkg.dsc: The same HashApiLib instance is used for all module types
so a single mapping can be moved to [LibraryClasses] section and the
DSC file and removed from the [LibraryClass.common.<ModuleType>] sections.
4) The name of the HashApiLib instance should be "BaseHashApiLib" and the
should be in the CryptoPkg/Library/BaseHashApiLib directory with
files BashHashApiLib.inf, BaseHashApiLib.c, and BaseHashApiLib.uni.
BASE_NAME in BaseHashApiLib.iunf should also be BaseHashApiLib.
5) In order to be consistent with other EDK II context typedefs, I recommend
typedef VOID *HASH_API_CONTEXT;
Also update APIs to use HashContext instead of *HashContext.
6) HashApiDuplicate() - The NewHashContext parameter should be type
HASH_API_CONTEXT.
7) HashApiLib.inf - I think you can remove MdeModulePkg.dec from [Packages]
Thanks,
Mike
