markrad 0:cdf462088d13 26 * The Message Digest (MD) or Hashing module provides one-way hashing
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 27 * functions. Such functions can be used for creating a hash message
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 28 * authentication code (HMAC) when sending a message. Such a HMAC can be used
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 29 * in combination with a private key for authentication, which is a message
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 30 * integrity control.
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 31 *
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 32 * All hash algorithms can be accessed via the generic MD layer (see
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 33 * \c mbedtls_md_setup())
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 34 *
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 35 * The following hashing-algorithms are provided:
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 36 * - MD2, MD4, MD5 128-bit one-way hash functions by Ron Rivest.
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 37 * - SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384/512 160-bit or more one-way hash functions by
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 38 * NIST and NSA.
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 39 *
markrad 0:cdf462088d13 40 * This module provides one-way hashing which can be used for authentication.
