Hi, first i want to thank you for that snippet
and then i want to mention, that instruments and its leak check discovered a memory leak.
As described here http://stackoverflow.com/a/27671003 i added
result.dealloc(digestLen)
which resolved the problem in instruments for me
Just wanted to share my findings :)

best regards
