SHA-224

The SHA-224 message digest algorithm produces a 224-bit digest. The algorithm is described in FIPS PUB 180-1. Instances of this algorithm cannot be cloned.

To create a SHA-224 message digest for the message “hello world”:

MessageDigest sha256 = MessageDigest.getInstance(“SHA-224”, “SAFENET”);
byte[] digest = sha224.digest(“hello world”.getBytes());
