Module tox_crypto::sha512

SHA-512.

There has been considerable degradation of public confidence in the security conjectures for many hash functions, including SHA-512. However, for the moment, there do not appear to be alternatives that inspire satisfactory levels of confidence. One can hope that NIST's SHA-3 competition will improve the situation.

Structs

Digest	Digest-structure
State	State contains the state for multi-part (streaming) hash computations. This allows the caller to process a message as a sequence of multiple chunks.

Constants

BLOCKBYTES	Block size of the hash function.
DIGESTBYTES	Number of bytes in a Digest.

Functions

hash	hash hashes a message m. It returns a hash h.
