60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Nm md5 , sha1 , sha256 , sha384 , sha512, sha512t256, rmd160,
63.Nm skein256, skein512,
64and
65.Nm skein1024
66utilities take as input a message of arbitrary length and produce as
67output a
68.Dq fingerprint
69or
70.Dq message digest
71of the input.
72It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to
73produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any
74message having a given prespecified target message digest.
75The
76.Tn MD5 , SHA-1 , SHA-256 , SHA-384 , SHA-512, RIPEMD-160,
77and
78.Tn SKEIN
79algorithms are intended for digital signature applications, where a
80large file must be
81.Dq compressed
82in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private
83(secret)
84key under a public-key cryptosystem such as
85.Tn RSA .
86.Pp
87The
88.Tn MD5
89and
90.Tn SHA-1
91algorithms have been proven to be vulnerable to practical collision
92attacks and should not be relied upon to produce unique outputs, nor
93should they be used as part of a cryptographic signature scheme.
94As of 2017-03-02, there is no publicly known method to
95.Em reverse
96either algorithm, i.e. to find an input that produces a specific
97output.
98.Pp
99.Tn SHA-512t256
100is a version of
101.Tn SHA-512
102truncated to only 256 bits.
103On 64-bit hardware, this algorithm is approximately 50% faster than
104.Tn SHA-256
105but with the same level of security.
106The hashes are not interchangeable.
107.Pp
108It is recommended that all new applications use
109.Tn SHA-512
110or
111.Tn SKEIN-512
112instead of one of the other hash functions.
113.Pp
114The following options may be used in any combination and must
115precede any files named on the command line.
116The hexadecimal checksum of each file listed on the command line is printed
117after the options are processed.
118.Bl -tag -width indent
119.It Fl c Ar string
120Compare the digest of the file against this string.
121.Pq Note that this option is not yet useful if multiple files are specified.
122.It Fl s Ar string
123Print a checksum of the given
124.Ar string .
125.It Fl p
126Echo stdin to stdout and append the checksum to stdout.
127.It Fl q
128Quiet mode \(em only the checksum is printed out.
129Overrides the
130.Fl r
131option.
132.It Fl r
133Reverses the format of the output.
134This helps with visual diffs.
135Does nothing
136when combined with the
137.Fl ptx
138options.
139.It Fl t
140Run a built-in time trial.
141.It Fl x
142Run a built-in test script.
143.El
144.Sh EXIT STATUS
145The
146.Nm md5 , sha1 , sha256 , sha512, sha512t256, rmd160,
147.Nm skein256, skein512,
148and
149.Nm skein1024
150utilities exit 0 on success,
1511 if at least one of the input files could not be read,
152and 2 if at least one file does not have the same hash as the
153.Fl c
154option.
