What is sha?
sha is a simple program that hashes files. It uses the National Institute of
Standards and Technology's Secure
Hash Algorithm. It can use SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512, which generate
respectively, hashes of 160, 256, 384, or 512 bits. sha can be used in scripts
to do, for example, file integrity checking. The
C implementations of the algorithms might be useful in other projects as well.
