EVP_sha1(3)                         OpenSSL                        EVP_sha1(3)



NAME
       EVP_sha1 - SHA-1 For EVP

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        const EVP_MD *EVP_sha1(void);

DESCRIPTION
       SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function
       standardized in NIST FIPS 180-4. The algorithm was designed by the
       United States National Security Agency and initially published in 1995.

       EVP_sha1()
           The SHA-1 algorithm which produces a 160-bit output from a given
           input.

NOTES
       Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
       calling this function multiple times and should consider using
       EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-SHA1(7) instead.  See "Performance" in
       crypto(7) for further information.

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
       implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
       details of the EVP_MD structure.

CONFORMING TO
       NIST FIPS 180-4.
