.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In openssl/evp.h
.Ft const EVP_MD *
.Fn EVP_sha1 void

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The following message digest algorithms are cryptographically broken.
None of them should be used in new code unless there is no way around it.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_sha1
implements the SHA-1 algorithm and produces 160 bits of output
from a given input.
Examples of protocols and software still requiring it
include OCSP, DNS, and the
.Sy git
version control system.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_md5
implements the MD5 algorithm and produces 128 bits of output
from a given input.
It is still occasionally used when no security is required
but a fast hash algorithm is beneficial.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_md5_sha1
produces concatenated MD5 and SHA-1 message digests.
Do not use this except where it is required for the historic SSLv3 protocol.
.Pp
.Fn EVP_md4
implements the MD4 algorithm and produces 128 bits of output
from a given input.
It has been marked as
.Dq historic
by the Internet Engineering Task Force since 2011.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return pointers to static
.Vt EVP_MD
objects implementing the hash functions.
