| * @addtogroup hashing_module Hashing module |
| * |
| * 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_init_ctx()) |
| * |
| * The following hashing-algorithms are provided: |
| * - MD2, MD4, MD5 128-bit one-way hash functions by Ron Rivest (see |
| * \c md2_hmac(), \c md4_hmac() and \c md5_hmac()). |
| * - SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384/512 160-bit or more one-way hash functions by |
| * NIST and NSA (see\c sha1_hmac(), \c sha256_hmac() and \c sha512_hmac()). |
| * |
| * This module provides one-way hashing which can be used for authentication. |
