NAME
EVP_sha224, EVP_sha256, EVP_sha512_224, EVP_sha512_256, EVP_sha384,
EVP_sha512 - SHA-2 For EVP
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha224(void);
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha256(void);
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512_224(void);
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512_256(void);
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha384(void);
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512(void);
DESCRIPTION
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a family of cryptographic hash
functions standardized in NIST FIPS 180-4, first published in 2001.
EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(), EVP_sha512_224, EVP_sha512_256,
EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512()
The SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-512/224, SHA512/256, SHA-384 and
SHA-512 algorithms, which generate 224, 256, 224, 256, 384 and 512
bits respectively of output from a given input.
The two algorithms: SHA-512/224 and SHA512/256 are truncated forms
of the SHA-512 algorithm. They are distinct from SHA-224 and
SHA-256 even though their outputs are of the same size.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
details of the EVP_MD structure.
CONFORMING TO
NIST FIPS 180-4.
