NIST's secure hash algorithm, SHA.

This module implements the interface to NIST's
\index
{
NIST
}
secure hash
algorithm,
\index
{
Secure Hash Algorithm
}
known as SHA. It is used in
the same way as the
\refmodule
{
md5
}
module:
\
use the
\function
{
new()
}
to create an sha object, then feed this object with arbitrary strings
using the
\method
{
update()
}
method, and at any point you can ask it
for the
\dfn
{
digest
}
of the contatenation of the strings fed to it
so far.
\index
{
checksum!SHA
}
SHA digests are 160 bits instead of 128
bits.
\begin{funcdesc}
{
new
}{
\optional
{
string
}}
Return a new sha object. If
\var
{
string
}
is present, the method
call
\code
{
update(
\var
{
string
}
)
}
is made.
\end{funcdesc}
The following values are provided as constants in the module and as
attributes of the sha objects returned by
\function
{
new()
}
:
\begin{datadesc}
{
blocksize
}
Size of the blocks fed into the hash function; this is always
\code
{
1
}
. This size is used to allow an arbitrary string to be
hashed.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}
{
digestsize
}
The size of the resulting digest in bytes. This is always
\code
{
20
}
.
\end{datadesc}
A sha object has all the methods the md5 objects have, plus one:
\begin{methoddesc}
[sha]
{
hexdigest
}{}
Return the digest value as a string of hexadecimal digits. This may
be used to exchange the value safely in email or other non-binary
environments.
\end{methoddesc}
