/**
* @addtogroup hashing_module Hashing module
*
* The Message Digest (MD) or Hashing module provides one-way hashing
* functions. Such functions can be used for creating a hash message
* authentication code (HMAC) when sending a message. Such a HMAC can be used
* in combination with a private key for authentication, which is a message
* integrity control.
*
* All hash algorithms can be accessed via the generic MD layer (see
* \c mbedtls_md_setup())
*
* The following hashing-algorithms are provided:
* - MD5 128-bit one-way hash function by Ron Rivest.
* - SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384/512 160-bit or more one-way hash functions by
* NIST and NSA.
*
* This module provides one-way hashing which can be used for authentication.
