Description: Perl interface to the SHA-1 algorithm
 The Digest::SHA1 module allows you to use the NIST SHA-1 message digest
 algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message
 of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160-bit "fingerprint" or
 "message digest" of the input.
 .
 In 2005, security flaws were identified in SHA-1, namely that a possible
 mathematical weakness might exist, indicating that a stronger hash function
 would be desirable. The Digest::SHA module implements the stronger algorithms
 in the SHA family.
 .
 The Digest::SHA1 module provide a procedural interface for simple use, as
 well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages of arbitrary
 length and which can read files directly.
