.Sh DESCRIPTION
The SHA2 functions implement the NIST Secure Hash Standard,
FIPS PUB 180-2.
The SHA2 functions are used to generate a condensed representation of a
message called a message digest, suitable for use as a digital signature.
There are four families of functions, with names corresponding to
the number of bits in the resulting message digest.
The SHA-224 and SHA-256 functions are limited to processing a message of less
than 2^64 bits as input.
The SHA-384 and SHA-512 functions can process a message of at most 2^128 - 1
bits as input.
.Pp
The SHA2 functions are considered to be more secure than the
.Xr sha1 3
functions with which they share a similar interface.
The 224, 256, 384, and 512-bit versions of SHA2 share the same interface.
SHA512/256, a truncated version of SHA512, is also supported.
For brevity, only the 256-bit variants are described below.
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256Init
function initializes a SHA2_CTX
.Fa context
for use with
.Fn SHA256Update
and
.Fn SHA256Final .
The
.Fn SHA256Update
function adds
.Fa data
of length
.Fa len
to the SHA2_CTX specified by
.Fa context .
.Fn SHA256Final
is called when all data has been added via
.Fn SHA256Update
and stores a message digest in the
.Fa digest
parameter.
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256Pad
function can be used to apply padding to the message digest as in
.Fn SHA256Final ,
but the current context can still be used with
.Fn SHA256Update .
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256Transform
function is used by
.Fn SHA256Update
to hash 512-bit blocks and forms the core of the algorithm.
Most programs should use the interface provided by
.Fn SHA256Init ,
.Fn SHA256Update ,
and
.Fn SHA256Final
instead of calling
.Fn SHA256Transform
directly.
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256End
function is a front end for
.Fn SHA256Final
which converts the digest into an
.Tn ASCII
representation of the digest in hexadecimal.
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256File
function calculates the digest for a file and returns the result via
.Fn SHA256End .
If
.Fn SHA256File
is unable to open the file, a
.Dv NULL
pointer is returned.
.Pp
.Fn SHA256FileChunk
behaves like
.Fn SHA256File
but calculates the digest only for that portion of the file starting at
.Fa offset
and continuing for
.Fa length
bytes or until end of file is reached, whichever comes first.
A zero
.Fa length
can be specified to read until end of file.
A negative
.Fa length
or
.Fa offset
will be ignored.
.Pp
The
.Fn SHA256Data
function
calculates the digest of an arbitrary string and returns the result via
.Fn SHA256End .
.Pp
For each of the
.Fn SHA256End ,
.Fn SHA256File ,
.Fn SHA256FileChunk ,
and
.Fn SHA256Data
functions the
.Fa buf
parameter should either be a string large enough to hold the resulting digest
(e.g.\&
.Dv SHA224_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH ,
.Dv SHA256_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH ,
.Dv SHA384_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH ,
.Dv SHA512_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH ,
or
.Dv SHA512_256_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH ,
depending on the function being used)
or a
.Dv NULL
pointer.
In the latter case, space will be dynamically allocated via
.Xr malloc 3
and should be freed using
.Xr free 3
when it is no longer needed.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following code fragment will calculate the SHA-256 digest for the string
.Qq abc ,
which is
.Dq 0xba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
SHA2_CTX ctx;
u_int8_t results[SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
char *buf;
int n;

buf = "abc";
n = strlen(buf);
SHA256Init(&ctx);
SHA256Update(&ctx, (u_int8_t *)buf, n);
SHA256Final(results, &ctx);

/* Print the digest as one long hex value */
printf("0x");
for (n = 0; n \*(Lt SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; n++)
	printf("%02x", results[n]);
putchar('\en');
.Ed
.Pp
Alternately, the helper functions could be used in the following way:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
u_int8_t output[SHA256_DIGEST_STRING_LENGTH];
char *buf = "abc";

printf("0x%s\en", SHA256Data(buf, strlen(buf), output));
