 3Hash functions take arbitrary strings as input, and produce an output
 4of fixed size that is dependent on the input; it should never be
 5possible to derive the input data given only the hash function's
 6output.  Hash functions can be used simply as a checksum, or, in
 7association with a public-key algorithm, can be used to implement
 8digital signatures.

10The hashing modules here all support the interface described in PEP
11247, "API for Cryptographic Hash Functions".
