A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : US Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA)
Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd, T. Hansen
Filename : draft-eastlake-sha2-00.txt
Pages : 83
Date : 2005-6-13
The United States of America has adopted a suite of secure hash
algorithms (SHAs), including four beyond SHA-1, as part of a Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS), specifically SHA-224 [RFC
3874], SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. The purpose of this document
is to make code performing these hash functions conveniently
available to the Internet community. The sample code supports input
strings of arbitrary bit length. SHA-1's sample code from [RFC 3174]
has also been updated to handle an input string of arbitrary length.
Most of the text herein was adapted by the authors from FIPS 180-2.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-eastlake-sha2-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
