 *
 * A cryptographic hash function computes a hash value from a message,
 * for which it is hard to guess another message that generates the
 * same hash.
 *
 * These hash functions are intended for short messages, typically
 * passwords or random tokens, and thus not suitable for computing the
 * hash value of a large document.
 *
 * When used for passwords, to avoid dictionary attacks, the hash
 * functions accept also a random salt which is hashed together with
 * the password. Not all hash functions are adequate for passwords
 * hashes.
