<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a family of cryptographic hash functions standardized in NIST FIPS 180-4, first published in 2001.</p>

<dl>

<p>The SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-512/224, SHA512/256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 algorithms, which generate 224, 256, 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits respectively of output from a given input.</p>

<p>The two algorithms: SHA-512/224 and SHA512/256 are truncated forms of the SHA-512 algorithm. They are distinct from SHA-224 and SHA-256 even though their outputs are of the same size.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>These functions return a <b>EVP_MD</b> structure that contains the implementation of the symmetric cipher. See <a href="../man3/EVP_MD_meth_new.html">EVP_MD_meth_new(3)</a> for details of the <b>EVP_MD</b> structure.</p>
