Hi, I'm reading this:
http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/sha.html "[...] DESCRIPTION SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a 160 bit output. SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the n bytes at d and places it in md (which must have space for SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. [...]" And I wanted to use sha1sum from my linux command line: "[...] DESCRIPTION Print or check SHA1 (160-bit) checksums. [...]" are thes equivalent to each others? or should I use the openssl toolkit? I ask this cause sha1sum results are 41 bytes long. the SHA-1() doc says 20bytes for output. Regards, -- If you want freedom, compile the source. Get gentoo.
