Module SHA384

SHA-384 cryptographic hash algorithm.

SHA-384 belongs to the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hashes. It produces the 384 bit digest of a message.

>>> from Crypto.Hash import SHA384
>>>
>>> h = SHA384.new()
>>> h.update(b'Hello')
>>> print h.hexdigest()

SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm.

Classes
	SHA384Hash Class that implements a SHA-384 hash

Functions

new(data=None)
Return a fresh instance of the hash object.

Variables
	digest_size = `48` The size of the resulting hash in bytes.

Function Details

Return a fresh instance of the hash object.

Parameters:

data (byte string) - The very first chunk of the message to hash. It is equivalent to an early call to SHA384Hash.update(). Optional.

Returns:

A SHA384Hash object
