Readme This is the `README' file for 'shax' What is it ? 'shax' is an evolution of 'sha2-special-edition' - which is a driver for the 'FIPS 180-2 SHA-224/256/384/512 implementation' as written by Olivier Gay - with a few tricks like 'burst mode' for very large files and 'hash-based' encode/decode options. 'shax' adds the NIST FIPS 202 'sha3' algorithms as published by Andrey Jivsov. Tarball it is distributed in a tar-gzipped archive, and to open it, simply : $ gzip -d $ tar xf Source-code directory After the steps above, go to the source-code directory, $ cd ... Installation Building could hardly be simpler; just unpack it, and in the source directory : $ ./configure $ make $ make install - and you're done, gnu-style. Validation Optionally, you can $ make test right after `make' (or at any later time), just to validate some key features and functions. Concepts Reports Development this is an ongoing project, so the 'TODO' file has quite a few tasks, plans, ideas still to be implemented in due time. Warnings Feedback Bug reports should be directed to the `support' facility at SourceForge; However, any comment, improvement/enhencement suggestions, problem report, or general feedback can be sent by email and is very welcome. In the case of bug/problem report, please include specific details about the operating system, compiler, processor architecture, and version number.
