A practical incremental and one-pass, pure API to the
SHA-512 hash algorithm
(including HMAC support)
with performance close to the fastest implementations available in other languages.
The implementation is made in C with a haskell FFI wrapper that hides the C implementation.
NOTE: This package has been forked off cryptohash-0.11.7 because the cryptohash package has been
deprecated and so this package continues to satisfy the need for a lightweight package
providing the SHA512 hash algorithm without any dependencies on packages other than
base and bytestring.
Consequently, this package can be used as a drop-in replacement for cryptohash's
Crypto.Hash.SHA512 module, though with a clearly smaller footprint.
