Subject: RE: SHA-384 support in Jim's SHA2 code

>From sha2.h

#define SHA512_CTX           sha512_ctx
#define SHA384_Init(a)       sha512_init(a,0)
#define SHA512_Init(a)       sha512_init(a,1)
#define SHA512_Update(a,b,c) sha512_update(a,b,c)
#define SHA384_Update(a,b,c) sha512_update(a,b,c)
#define SHA512_Final(a,b)    sha512_final(a,b)
#define SHA384_Final(a,b)    sha512_final(a,b)

Simply use a SHA512_CTX, and then use the SHA384_Init(), SHA384_Update() and
SHA384_Final()

To be honet, the only one that 'really' matters is SHA384_Init().  The other
2 are 100% the same (small changes to final, in the 'inside', but it uses
whatever was set by the init).   The init uses a different IV between
384/512 and sets a flag that is later used in Final.

But it 100% works with either 384/512.

Jim.
