/**
\class Hash qca_basic.h QtCrypto
General class for hashing algorithms.
Hash is the class for the various hashing algorithms
within %QCA. SHA256, SHA1 or RIPEMD160 are recommended for
new applications, although MD2, MD4, MD5 or SHA0 may be
applicable (for interoperability reasons) for some
applications.
To perform a hash, you create a Hash object, call update()
with the data that needs to be hashed, and then call
final(), which returns a QByteArray of the hash result. An
example (using the SHA1 hash, with 1000 updates of a 1000
byte string) is shown below:
\code
if(!QCA::isSupported("sha1"))
printf("SHA1 not supported!\n");
else {
QByteArray fillerString;
fillerString.fill('a', 1000);
QCA::Hash shaHash("sha1");
for (int i=0; i<1000; i++)
shaHash.update(fillerString);
QByteArray hashResult = shaHash.final();
if ( "34aa973cd4c4daa4f61eeb2bdbad27316534016f" == QCA::arrayToHex(hashResult) ) {
printf("big SHA1 is OK\n");
} else {
printf("big SHA1 failed\n");
}
}
\endcode
If you only have a simple hash requirement - a single
string that is fully available in memory at one time - then
you may be better off with one of the convenience
methods. So, for example, instead of creating a QCA::Hash
object, then doing a single update() and the final() call;
you could simply call QCA::Hash("algoName").hash() with the
data that you would otherwise have provided to the update()
call.

/** \page hashing Hashing Algorithms
There are a range of hashing algorithms available in
%QCA. Hashing algorithms are used with the Hash and
MessageAuthenticationCode classes.
The MD2 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as the
message and outputs a condensed 128 bit (16 byte)
representation of that data stream, known as the message
digest. This algorithm is considered slightly more secure than MD5,
but is more expensive to compute. Unless backward
compatibility or interoperability are considerations, you
are better off using the SHA1 or RIPEMD160 hashing algorithms.
For more information on %MD2, see B. Kalinski RFC1319 "The %MD2
Message-Digest Algorithm". The label for MD2 is "md2".
The MD4 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as the
message and outputs a condensed 128 bit (16 byte)
representation of that data stream, known as the message
digest. MD4 is not considered to be secure, based on
known attacks. It should only be used for applications where
collision attacks are not a consideration (for example, as
used in the rsync algorithm for fingerprinting blocks of
data). If a secure hash is required, you are better off using
the SHA1 or RIPEMD160 hashing algorithms. MD2 and MD5 are both
stronger 128 bit hashes. For more information on MD4, see
R. Rivest RFC1320 "The %MD4 Message-Digest Algorithm". The
label for MD4 is "md4".
The MD5 takes an arbitrary data stream, known as the message
and outputs a condensed 128 bit (16 byte) representation of
that data stream, known as the message digest. MD5 is not
considered to be secure, based on known attacks. It should
only be used for applications where collision attacks are not
a consideration. If a secure hash is required, you are better
off using the SHA1 or RIPEMD160 hashing algorithms. For more
information on MD5, see R. Rivest RFC1321 "The %MD5
Message-Digest Algorithm". The label for MD5 is "md5".
The RIPEMD160 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known
as the message (up to \f$2^{64}\f$ bits in length) and outputs
a condensed 160 bit (20 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. The RIPEMD160 algorithm
is considered secure in that it is considered computationally
infeasible to find the message that produced the message
digest. The label for RIPEMD160 is "ripemd160".
The SHA-0 algorithm is a 160 bit hashing function, no longer
recommended for new applications because of known (partial)
attacks against it. The label for SHA-0 is "sha0".
The SHA-1 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as
the message (up to \f$2^{64}\f$ bits in length) and outputs a
condensed 160 bit (20 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. SHA-1 is considered
secure in that it is considered computationally infeasible to
find the message that produced the message digest. For more
information on the SHA-1 algorithm,, see Federal Information
Processing Standard Publication 180-2 "Specifications for the
Secure %Hash Standard", available from
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. The label for SHA-1 is
"sha1".
The SHA-224 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as
the message (up to \f$2^{64}\f$ bits in length) and outputs a
condensed 224 bit (28 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. SHA-224 is a "cut down"
version of SHA-256, and you may be better off using SHA-256 in
new designs. The SHA-224 algorithm is considered secure in
that it is considered computationally infeasible to find the
message that produced the message digest. For more information
on SHA-224, see Federal Information Processing Standard
Publication 180-2 "Specifications for the Secure %Hash
Standard", with change notice 1, available from
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. The label for SHA-224 is
"sha224".
The SHA-256 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as
the message (up to \f$2^{64}\f$ bits in length) and outputs a
condensed 256 bit (32 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. The SHA-256 algorithm is
considered secure in that it is considered computationally
infeasible to find the message that produced the message
digest. For more information on SHA-256, see Federal
Information Processing Standard Publication 180-2
"Specifications for the Secure %Hash Standard", available from
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. The label for SHA-256 is
"sha256".
The SHA-384 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as
the message (up to \f$2^{128}\f$ bits in length) and outputs a
condensed 384 bit (48 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. The SHA-384 algorithm is
a "cut down" version of SHA-512, and you may be better off
using SHA-512 in new designs. The SHA-384 algorithm is
considered secure in that it is considered computationally
infeasible to find the message that produced the message
digest. For more information on SHA-384, see Federal
Information Processing Standard Publication 180-2
"Specifications for the Secure %Hash Standard", available from
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. The label for SHA-384 is
"sha384".
The SHA-512 algorithm takes an arbitrary data stream, known as
the message (up to \f$2^{128}\f$ bits in length) and outputs a
condensed 512 bit (64 byte) representation of that data
stream, known as the message digest. The SHA-512 algorithm is
considered secure in that it is considered computationally
infeasible to find the message that produced the message
digest. For more information on SHA-512, see Federal

"sha512".

/** \Page padding Padding
For those Cipher sub-classes that are block based, there are modes
that require a full block on encryption and decryption - %Cipher Block
Chaining mode and Electronic Code Book modes are good examples.
Since real world messages are not always a convenient multiple of a
block size, we have to adding <i>padding</i>. There are a number of
padding modes that %QCA supports, including not doing any padding
at all.
If you are not going to use padding, then you can pass
QCA::Cipher::NoPadding as the pad argument to the Cipher sub-class, however
it is then your responsibility to pass in appropriate data for
the mode that you are using.
The most common padding scheme is known as PKCS#7 (also PKCS#1), and
it specifies that the pad bytes are all equal to the length of the
padding ( for example, if you need three pad bytes to complete the block, then
the padding is 0x03 0x03 0x03 ).
On encryption, for algorithm / mode combinations that require
padding, you will get a block of ciphertext when the input plain text block
is complete. When you call final(), you will get out the ciphertext that
corresponds to the last bit of plain text, plus any padding. If you had
provided plaintext that matched up with a block size, then the cipher
text block is generated from pure padding - you always get at least some
padding, to ensure that the padding can be safely removed on decryption.
On decryption, for algorithm / mode combinations that use padding,
you will get back a block of plaintext when the input ciphertext block
is complete. When you call final(), you will a block that has been stripped
of ciphertext.
