.Sh DESCRIPTION
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
160-bit output.
.Pp
.Fn SHA1
computes the SHA-1 message digest of the
.Fa n
bytes at
.Fa d
and places it in
.Fa md ,
which must have space for
.Dv SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH
== 20 bytes of output.
.Pp
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
.Pp
.Fn SHA1_Init
initializes a
.Vt SHA_CTX
structure.
.Pp
.Fn SHA1_Update
can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed
.Pq Fa len No bytes at Fa data .
.Pp
.Fn SHA1_Final
places the message digest in
.Fa md ,
which must have space for
.Dv SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH
== 20 bytes of output, and erases the
.Vt SHA_CTX .
.Pp
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
.Vt SHA256_CTX
object instead of
.Vt SHA_CTX ,
and SHA384 and SHA512 use
.Vt SHA512_CTX .
The buffer
.Fa md
must have space for the output from the SHA variant being used:
.Dv SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH ,
.Dv SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH ,
.Dv SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH ,
or
.Dv SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH
bytes.
.Pp
Applications should use the higher level functions
.Xr EVP_DigestInit 3
etc.  instead of calling the hash functions directly.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn SHA1 ,
.Fn SHA224 ,
.Fn SHA256 ,
.Fn SHA384 ,
and
.Fn SHA512
return a pointer to the hash value.
The other functions return 1 for success or 0 otherwise.

.Sh HISTORY
.Fn SHA1 ,
.Fn SHA1_Init ,
.Fn SHA1_Update ,
and
.Fn SHA1_Final
first appeared in SSLeay 0.5.1 and have been available since
.Ox 2.4 .
.Pp
The other functions first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8
and have been available since
.Ox 4.5 .
.Sh CAVEATS
Other implementations allow
.Fa md
in
.Fn SHA1 ,
.Fn SHA224 ,
.Fn SHA256 ,
.Fn SHA384 ,
and
.Fn SHA512
to be
.Dv NULL
and return a static array, which is not thread safe.
