NAME
MDC2, MDC2_Init, MDC2_Update, MDC2_Final - MDC2 hash
function
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/mdc2.h>
unsigned char *MDC2(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
unsigned char *md);
void MDC2_Init(MDC2_CTX *c);
void MDC2_Update(MDC2_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data,
unsigned long len);
void MDC2_Final(unsigned char *md, MDC2_CTX *c);
DESCRIPTION
MDC2 is a method to construct hash functions with 128 bit
output from block ciphers. These functions are an
implementation of MDC2 with DES.
MDC2() computes the MDC2 message digest of the n bytes at d
and places it in md (which must have space for
MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 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:
MDC2_Init() initializes a MDC2_CTX structure.
MDC2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the
message to be hashed (len bytes at data).
MDC2_Final() places the message digest in md, which must
have space for MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and
erases the MDC2_CTX.
Applications should use the higher level functions
EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling the hash functions
directly.
RETURN VALUES
MDC2() returns a pointer to the hash value.
MDC2_Init(), MDC2_Update() and MDC2_Final() do not return
values.
