Currently supported + hash functions are: + + Built in + MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-256, + RIPEMD-320 + + Via libsha1 + SHA0, SHA1 + + Via libsha2 + SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, + SHA-512/256 + + libhashsum makes it easy to select at compile-time which + functions to compile support for. + + For each hash function, libhashsum has a dedicated + initialiser that may take required parameters for the + hash function. It also have a function that can parse + a string describing any support function with its + parameters. For hash function that do not require + any parameters, it has a function that can select + the appropriate initialiser based on an enum value + that specifies the algorithm. |
