Take a look at

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/cryptlib/

I just happened across this site today, and it is permanently bookmarked now.
The "author" of the site provides a "cryptlib" which includes just about
every crytpographic technique which appears  useful today (downloadable,
free,  NON-US SITE).  If you select "algorthms" from the page index, you
will get a table of algorithms included in cryptlib, each linked to "somewhere".
The SHA entry is linked to a copy of the FIPS standard for SHA, which I
presume should be what you need.
