SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
const EVP_MD *EVP_whirlpool(void);

WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004
designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. This implementation is
only available with the legacy provider.
- EVP_whirlpool()
-
The WHIRLPOOL algorithm that produces a message digest of 512-bits from a given
input.
NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL(7) instead.
See ``Performance'' in crypto(7) for further information.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
details of the EVP_MD structure.
CONFORMING TO
ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004.
