20The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be

24 int SHA1_Init(SHA_CTX *c);
25 int SHA1_Update(SHA_CTX *c, const void *data, size_t len);

44=head1 DESCRIPTION
45
46All of the functions described on this page
47except for SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() are deprecated.
48Applications should instead use L<EVP_DigestInit_ex(3)>, L<EVP_DigestUpdate(3)>
49and L<EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3)>, or the quick one-shot function L<EVP_Q_digest(3)>.
50SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384(), and SHA256()
51can continue to be used. They can also be replaced by, e.g.,
52
53    (EVP_Q_digest(d, n, md, NULL, NULL, "SHA256", NULL) ? md : NULL)
54
55SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
56160 bit output.
57
58SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the B<n>
59bytes at B<d> and places it in B<md> (which must have space for
60SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output). If B<md> is NULL, the digest
61is placed in a static array. Note: setting B<md> to NULL is B<not thread safe>.
62
63The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
64stored in memory:
65
66SHA1_Init() initializes a B<SHA_CTX> structure.
67
68SHA1_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
69be hashed (B<len> bytes at B<data>).
70
71SHA1_Final() places the message digest in B<md>, which must have space
72for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases the B<SHA_CTX>.
73
74The SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 families of functions operate in the
75same way as for the SHA1 functions. Note that SHA224 and SHA256 use a
76B<SHA256_CTX> object instead of B<SHA_CTX>. SHA384 and SHA512 use B<SHA512_CTX>.
77The buffer B<md> must have space for the output from the SHA variant being used
78(defined by SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH and
79SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH). Also note that, as for the SHA1() function above, the
80SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() functions are not thread safe if
81B<md> is NULL.
82
83=head1 RETURN VALUES
84
85SHA1(), SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() return a pointer to the hash
86value.
87
88SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update() and SHA1_Final() and equivalent SHA224, SHA256,
89SHA384 and SHA512 functions return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
