EVP_whirlpool3ssl

Usage

 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 const EVP_MD *EVP_whirlpool(void);

Overview

WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004 designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. This implementation is only available with the legacy provider.

EVP_whirlpool()

The WHIRLPOOL algorithm that produces a message digest of 512-bits from a given input.

Notes

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling this function multiple times and should consider using EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL(7) instead. See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.

Return values

These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for details of the EVP_MD structure.
