MDC2 hash function
Synopsis
#include <openssl/mdc2.h> unsigned char *MDC2(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n, unsigned char *md); int MDC2_Init(MDC2_CTX *c); int MDC2_Update(MDC2_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data, unsigned long len); int 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() return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
Conforming to
ISO/IEC 10118-2:2000 Hash-Function 2, with DES as the underlying block cipher.
