SHA1, SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, SHA1_Final - Secure Hash Algorithm
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/sha.h>
unsigned char *SHA1(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
unsigned char *md);
void SHA1_Init(SHA_CTX *c);
void SHA1_Update(SHA_CTX *c, const void *data,
unsigned long len);
void SHA1_Final(unsigned char *md, SHA_CTX *c);
DESCRIPTION
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a 160 bit output.
SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the n bytes at d and places it in md (which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes
of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:
SHA1_Init() initializes a SHA_CTX structure.
SHA1_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).
SHA1_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases the SHA_CTX.
Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
The predecessor of SHA-1, SHA, is also implemented, but it should be used only when backward compatibility is required.
RETURN VALUES
SHA1() returns a pointer to the hash value.
SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update() and SHA1_Final() do not return values.

DESCRIPTION
The SHA_ and SHA1_ functions calculate a 160-bit cryptographic checksum (digest) for any number of input bytes. A cryptographic checksum is
a one-way hash function; that is, it is computationally impractical to find the input corresponding to a particular output. This net result
is a ``fingerprint'' of the input-data, which does not disclose the actual input.
SHA (or SHA-0) is the original Secure Hash Algorithm specified in FIPS 160. It was quickly proven insecure, and has been superseded by
SHA-1. SHA-0 is included for compatibility purposes only.
The SHA1_Init(), SHA1_Update(), and SHA1_Final() functions are the core functions. Allocate an SHA_CTX, initialize it with SHA1_Init(), run
over the data with SHA1_Update(), and finally extract the result using SHA1_Final().
SHA1_End() is a wrapper for SHA1_Final() which converts the return value to a 41-character (including the terminating '
