Abstract

[Superseded by FIPS 180-4 (August 2015): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=919060] This standard specifies hash algorithms that can be used to generate digests of messages. The digests are used to detect whether messages have been changed since the digests were generated. [Supersedes FIPS 180-3 (October 2008): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=901372]
