================
Libucw contains two cryptographic hash algorithms: MD5 (RFC 1321) and SHA1 (RFC
-3174).
+3174). A SHA1-HMAC (RFC 2104) message authentication is available.
+
+There are non-cryptographic hashes as well.

-Usage

+Common usage
+------------
There are two ways you can use the hashing routines.
SHA1 has the same interface, so the same two ways apply.
See also <<string:mem_to_hex()>>.
