20
21MDC2 is a method to construct hash functions with 128 bit output from
22block ciphers. These functions are an implementation of MDC2 with
23DES.
24
25MDC2() computes the MDC2 message digest of the B<n>
26bytes at B<d> and places it in B<md> (which must have space for
27MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). If B<md> is NULL, the digest
28is placed in a static array.
29
30The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
31stored in memory:
32
33MDC2_Init() initializes a B<MDC2_CTX> structure.
34
35MDC2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
36be hashed (B<len> bytes at B<data>).
37
38MDC2_Final() places the message digest in B<md>, which must have space
39for MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the B<MDC2_CTX>.
