EVP_whirlpool(3)                    OpenSSL                   EVP_whirlpool(3)



NAME
       EVP_whirlpool - WHIRLPOOL For EVP

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        const EVP_MD *EVP_whirlpool(void);

DESCRIPTION
       WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC
       10118-3:2004 designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto.
       This implementation is only available with the legacy provider.

       EVP_whirlpool()
           The WHIRLPOOL algorithm that produces a message digest of 512-bits
           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-WHIRLPOOL(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
       ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004.
