NAME

       EVP_sha1 - SHA-1 For EVP

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.
