41 This is the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for MessageDigest
42 class in java.security. It provides the back end functionality
43 for the MessageDigest class so that it can compute message
44 hashes. The default hashes are SHA-1 and MD5. A message hash
45 takes data of arbitrary length and produces a unique number
46 representing it.
48 Cryptography service providers who want to implement their
49 own message digest hashes need only to subclass this class.
51 The implementation of a Cloneable interface is left to up to
52 the programmer of a subclass.
