libmhash is a free library which provides a uniform interface to a large number of hash algorithms. These algorithms can be used to compute checksums, message digests, and other signatures.

The HMAC support implements the basics for message authentication, following RFC 2104. In the later versions some key generation algorithms, which use hash algorithms, have been added.

At the time of writing this, the library supports the algorithms:
SHA1, SHA160, SHA192, SHA224, SHA384, SHA512, HAVAL128, HAVAL160, HAVAL192, HAVAL224, HAVAL256, RIPEMD128, RIPEMD256, RIPEMD320, MD4, MD5, TIGER, TIGER128, TIGER160, ALDER32, CRC32, CRC32b, WHIRLPOOL, GOST, SNEFRU128, SNEFRU256.

What's New in This Release:
Lots of endian fixes were made.
More redundant code has been eliminated.
Many minor bugs were fixed.
Error checking was improved.
