This module implements a common interface to many different secure hash and
message digest algorithms. Included are the FIPS secure hash algorithms SHA1,
SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, (defined in `the FIPS 180-4 standard`_),
the SHA-3 series (defined in `the FIPS 202 standard`_) as well as RSA's MD5
algorithm (defined in internet :rfc:`1321`). The terms "secure hash" and
"message digest" are interchangeable. Older algorithms were called message
digests. The modern term is secure hash.
