US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1)

Open access
Eastlake, D., Jones, P.·2001

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to make the SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) hash algorithm conveniently available to the Internet community.The United States of America has adopted the SHA-1 hash algorithm described herein as a Federal Information Processing Standard.Most of the text herein was taken by the authors from FIPS 180-1.Only the C code implementation is "original". AcknowledgementsMost of the text herein was taken from [FIPS 180-1].Only the C code implementation is "original" but its style is similar to the previously published MD4 and MD5 RFCs [RFCs 1320, 1321].The SHA-1 is based on principles similar to those used by Professor Ronald L. Rivest of MIT when designing the MD4 message digest algorithm [MD4] and is modeled after that algorithm [RFC 1320].

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
