SHA-3 requirement

[Rob Lindsey]

We have been asked to use the SHA-3 encryption algorithm in a web service call.  I cant seem to find anything about this in the documentation or the TCL libraries or the Perl libraries.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Rob,

Cloverleaf ships with Tcllib, which includes implementations of SHA-1 and SHA-2, so you can look in the Tcllib documentation online.

However, the SHA-3 standard was only released in 2015 so Tcllib does not include an implementation yet. If you want to use SHA-3, you may be forced to go to Java.

To test SHA in Cloverleaf, you can enter at the terminal:

package require sha1        (for SHA-1)

package require sha256    (for SHA-2)

Thanks, I found SHA-1 and SHA-2 and a few others (des, aes, md5, etc).  I am already looking down the JAVA and PERL routes.

Appreciate the time.
