much more.

Secure Hashing Algorithm 1
This is the revision of SHA [also called SHA0] which is an alogrithm to
produce a message hash [or digest] of a given file. Hashes are used to
ensure that a file is not tampered with since changing even one charachter
of a file will produce a different hash. Hashes are smaller than the
message, so they provide a means to check that a file was not changed.
