/**

|
|
*
|
|
* The 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 md_setup())
|
|
*
|
|
* The following hashing-algorithms are provided:
|
|
* - MD2, MD4, MD5 128-bit one-way hash functions 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.
