EVP_mdc2(3)                         OpenSSL                        EVP_mdc2(3)




NAME

       EVP_mdc2 - MDC-2 For EVP


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        const EVP_MD *EVP_mdc2(void);


DESCRIPTION

       MDC-2 (Modification Detection Code 2 or Meyer-Schilling) is a
       cryptographic hash function based on a block cipher. This
       implementation is only available with the legacy provider.

       EVP_mdc2()
           The MDC-2DES algorithm of using MDC-2 with the DES block cipher. It
           produces a 128-bit output 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-MDC2(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 10118-2:2000 Hash-Function 2, with DES as the underlying block
       cipher.
