DESCRIPTION
Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3)
etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
160 bit output.
SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the n bytes at d and places
it in md (which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of
output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. Note:
setting md to NULL is not thread safe.
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
SHA1_Init() initializes a SHA_CTX structure.
SHA1_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be
hashed (len bytes at data).
SHA1_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for
SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases the SHA_CTX.
The SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 families of functions operate in
the same way as for the SHA1 functions. Note that SHA224 and SHA256 use
a SHA256_CTX object instead of SHA_CTX. SHA384 and SHA512 use
SHA512_CTX. The buffer md must have space for the output from the SHA
variant being used (defined by SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH,
SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH and SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH).
Also note that, as for the SHA1() function above, the SHA224(),
SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() functions are not thread safe if md is
NULL.
The predecessor of SHA-1, SHA, is also implemented, but it should be
used only when backward compatibility is required.
RETURN VALUES
SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() return a pointer to
the hash value.
SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update() and SHA1_Final() and equivalent SHA224,
SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 functions return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
