=head1 NAME
sha - Secure Hash Algorithm
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/sha.h>
unsigned char *SHA1(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
unsigned char *md);
void SHA1_Init(SHA_CTX *c);
void SHA1_Update(SHA_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data,
unsigned long len);
void SHA1_Final(unsigned char *md, SHA_CTX *c);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
160 bit output.
The predecessor of SHA-1, SHA, is also implemented, but it should be
used only when backward compatibility is required.

US Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS 180 (Secure Hash
Standard), ANSI X9.30
