NAME
       libmd - Message Digest library

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmd [ library... ]
       #include <md4.h>
       #include <md5.h>
       #include <sha1.h>
       #include <sha2.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Functions  in  this library provide hashing routines for MD4 (RFC1320),
       MD5 (RFC1321),  SHA1  (RFC3174),	 SHA256	 (FIPS	180-2),	 SHA384	 (FIPS
       180-2), SHA512 (FIPS 180-2).

INTERFACES
       The  shared  object  libmd.so.1	provides the public interfaces defined
       below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object	inter‐
       faces.

       MD4Final			     MD4Init
       MD4Update		     md5_calc
       MD5Final			     MD5Init
       MD5Update		     SHA1Final
       SHA1Init			     SHA1Update
       SHA2Final		     SHA2Init
       SHA2Update

SECURITY
       The  MD4	 and  MD5 algorithms are currently considered weak for crypto‐
       graphic use. The algorithms should be used only for compatibility  with
       legacy systems or protocols.

       The  SHA1 algorithm is also believed to have some weaknesses. Migration
       to one of the SHA2 algorithms-including	SHA256,	 SHA386	 or  SHA512-is
       highly  recommended  when  compatibility	 with data formats and on wire
       protocols is permitted.
