A hash is secure if, given the hashed data and the digest, it is difficult to predict the change to the digest resulting from some change to the data without rehashing the whole data. Therefore, if a secret is part of the hashed data, the digest can be used as an integrity check of the data by anyone possessing the secret. The routines md4, md5, ripemd160, sha1, sha2_224, sha2_256, sha2_384, sha2_512, differ only in the length of the result- ing digest and in the security of the hash. Sha2_* and hmac_sha2_* are the SHA-2 functions; the number after the final underscore is the number of bits in the resulting digest. Usage for each is the same. The first call to the routine should have nil as the state parameter. This call returns a state which can be used to chain subsequent calls. The last call should have digest non-`nil'. Digest must point to a buffer of at least the size of the digest pro- duced. This last call will free the state and copy the result into digest. The constants MD4dlen, MD5dlen, RIPEMD160dlen, SHA1dlen, SHA2_224dlen, SHA2_256dlen, SHA2_384dlen, SHA2_512dlen and Poly1305dlen define the lengths of the digests. Hmac_md5, hmac_sha1, hmac_sha2_224, hmac_sha2_256, hmac_sha2_384, hmac_sha2_512 and poly1305 are used slightly differently. These hash algorithms are keyed and require a key to be specified on every call. The digest lengths for these hashes are the obvious ones from the above list of length constants. The hmac_* routines all call hmac_x internally, but hmac_x is not intended for general use. Poly1305 is a one-time authenticator designed by D. J. Bern- stein is documented in RFC8439. It takes a 32-byte one-time key and a message and produces a 16-byte tag.
