General Definition of a Hash Function

Syntax

typedef IppStatus(_STDCALL *IppHASH)(const Ipp8u* pMsg, int msgLen, Ipp8u* pMD);

Parameters

pMsg	Pointer to the input octet string.
msgLen	Length of the input string in octers.
pMD	Pointer to the output message digest.

Description

This declaration is included in the ippcp.h file. The function calculates the digest of a non-streaming message using the implemented hash algorithm.

Note

Definition of a hash function used in Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library limits length (in octets) of an input message for any specific hash function by the range of the int data type, with the upper bound of 2³²-1.
