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 mbedtls_md_setup()) * * The following hashing-algorithms are provided: * - MD2, MD4, MD5 128-bit one-way hash functions by Ron Rivest. * - SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384/512 160-bit or more one-way hash functions by * NIST and NSA. * * This module provides one-way hashing which can be used for authentication. */
