SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a 160-bit output.

() 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, which is not thread safe.

The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:

() initializes a SHA_CTX structure.

() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).

() 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 the SHA1 functions. Note that SHA224 and SHA256 use a SHA256_CTX object instead of SHA_CTX, and SHA384 and SHA512 use SHA512_CTX. The buffer md must have space for the output from the SHA variant being used: SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH, or SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes.

Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.

The predecessor of SHA-1, SHA, is also implemented, but it should be used only when backward compatibility is required.

SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384(), and SHA512() return a pointer to the hash value. The other functions return 1 for success or 0 otherwise.

SHA1(), SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update(), and SHA1_Final() first appeared in SSLeay 0.5.1 and have been available since OpenBSD 2.4.

The other functions first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8 and have been available since OpenBSD 4.5.
