This library provides message digest functions found on BSD systems either on
|
||
|
|
their libc (NetBSD, OpenBSD) or libmd (FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, macOS, Solaris)
|
||
|
|
libraries and lacking on others like GNU systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The intention here is to have a library with extremely permissive licenses
|
||
|
|
(see below), that can be used by any project; that has a very small scope
|
||
|
|
and as such can be part of the base system on most distributions; and that
|
||
|
|
has a compatible API with the implementations on other systems and those
|
||
|
|
that other projects are embedding, so that they can switch to use the
|
||
|
|
system library instead of duplicating the same code all over the place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The currently provided message digest algorithms are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* MD2
|
||
|
|
* MD4
|
||
|
|
* MD5
|
||
|
|
* RIPEMD-160
|
||
|
|
* SHA-1
|
||
|
|
* SHA-2 (SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512)
