sample code for hashing a file via IPP/cryptoplugin

[_norbert_]

hi,
since im completely new to intel dev tools id need some handholding from experienced developers.
is there a primitive code snippet that shows how to hash a file (md5,sha....whatever) - create a fingerprint so to speak via intel ipp and the cryptoplugin ??? any help appreciated! need to get started...

Hi Norbert,

You can follow the step in this page to download the Intel IPP cryptography package:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-ipp-cryptography-libraries/

MD5/SHA1 functions are included in the cryptography package. You check the manual \doc\ippcpman.pdf to learn these functions:

Chapter 3: One-Way Hash Primitives

and some examples:

Example 3-1 MD5 Digest of a Message
Example 3-2 SHA1 Digest of a Message

Thanks,
Chao
