25
26SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a family of cryptographic hash functions
27standardized in NIST FIPS 180-4, first published in 2001.

38The SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-512/224, SHA512/256, SHA-384 and SHA-512
39algorithms, which generate 224, 256, 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits
40respectively of output from a given input.
41
42The two algorithms: SHA-512/224 and SHA512/256 are truncated forms of the
43SHA-512 algorithm. They are distinct from SHA-224 and SHA-256 even though
44their outputs are of the same size.

51These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
52implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
53details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
