- <H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
- <P>The <CODE>Digest::SHA1</CODE> module allows you to use the NIST SHA-1 message
- digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as
- input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160-bit
- ``fingerprint'' or ``message digest'' of the input.</P>
- <P>The <CODE>Digest::SHA1</CODE> module provide a procedural interface for simple
- use, as well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages
- of arbitrary length and which can read files directly.</P>
- <P>A binary digest will be 20 bytes long. A hex digest will be 40
- characters long. A base64 digest will be 27 characters long.</P>
- <P>
- <HR>
- <H1><A NAME="functions">FUNCTIONS</A></H1>
- <P>The following functions can be exported from the <CODE>Digest::SHA1</CODE>
- module. No functions are exported by default.</P>
- <DL>
- <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_sha1"><CODE>sha1($data,...)</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
- <DD>
- This function will concatenate all arguments, calculate the SHA-1
- digest of this ``message'', and return it in binary form.
- <P></P>
- <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_sha1_hex"><CODE>sha1_hex($data,...)</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
- <DD>
- Same as sha1(), but will return the digest in hexadecimal form.
- <P></P>
- <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_sha1_base64"><CODE>sha1_base64($data,...)</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
- <DD>
- Same as sha1(), but will return the digest as a base64 encoded string.
- <P></P></DL>
- <P>
- <HR>
- <H1><A NAME="methods">METHODS</A></H1>
- <P>The <CODE>Digest::SHA1</CODE> module provide the standard <CODE>Digest</CODE> OO-interface.
- The constructor looks like this:</P>
- <DL>
- <DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_new">$sha1 = Digest-><CODE>new('SHA-1')</CODE></A></STRONG><BR>
- <DD>
- <DT><STRONG>$sha1 = Digest::SHA1->new</STRONG><BR>
- <DD>
- The constructor returns a new <CODE>Digest::SHA1</CODE> object which encapsulate
- the state of the SHA-1 message-digest algorithm. You can add data to
- the object and finally ask for the digest using the methods described
- in <A HREF="../../../site/lib/Digest.html">the Digest manpage</A>.
