<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>Applications should use the higher level functions <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestInit.html">EVP_DigestInit(3)</a> etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.</p>

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

<p>SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the <b>n</b> bytes at <b>d</b> and places it in <b>md</b> (which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output). If <b>md</b> is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. Note: setting <b>md</b> to NULL is <b>not thread safe</b>.</p>

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

<p>SHA1_Init() initializes a <b>SHA_CTX</b> structure.</p>

<p>SHA1_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (<b>len</b> bytes at <b>data</b>).</p>

<p>SHA1_Final() places the message digest in <b>md</b>, which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases the <b>SHA_CTX</b>.</p>

<p>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 <b>SHA256_CTX</b> object instead of <b>SHA_CTX</b>. SHA384 and SHA512 use <b>SHA512_CTX</b>. The buffer <b>md</b> 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 <b>md</b> is NULL.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() return a pointer to the hash value.</p>

<p>SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update() and SHA1_Final() and equivalent SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 functions return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.</p>
