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. -------------- Duane H. Hesser dhh@androcles.com
