CRYPT_SHA_Initialize Function

C

int CRYPT_SHA_Initialize(
    CRYPT_SHA_CTX* sha
);

Description

This function initializes the internal structures necessary for SHA hash calculations.

Preconditions

None.

Parameters

Parameters	Description
sha	Pointer to CRYPT_SHA_CTX structure which holds the hash values.

Returns

BAD_FUNC_ARG - An invalid pointer was passed to the function.
0 - An invalid pointer was not passed to the function.

Remarks

All SHA hashes have to start at a particular value before adding new data to it. Thus function sets the necessary values for the structure.

Example

CRYPT_SHA_CTX sha;
uint8_t shaSum[SHA_DIGEST_SIZE];

CRYPT_SHA_Initialize(&sha);
CRYPT_SHA_DataAdd(&sha, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
CRYPT_SHA_Finalize(&sha, shaSum);
