    The document discusses the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) which was designed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). SHA-1 takes input of less than 264 bits and produces a 160-bit message digest. It processes data in 512-bit blocks using a compression function that involves logical functions and additive constants to produce the message digest. SHA-1 differs from MD5 in its digest length, number of steps, and use of big endian instead of little endian.

    UNIT - IV

    Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)

     Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was designed by National Institute of Standards and
    Technology (NIST).
     The Secure Hash Algorithm Version 1 (SHA-1) algorithm accepts a message of
    length less than 264 bits as input and produces a 160-bit message digest as output.
     The input is processed in 512-bit blocks.
