• SHA-1 implementation in C++

** Warning

Do not use SHA-1 unless you have to! [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1#Birthday-Near-Collision_Attack_%E2%80%93_first_practical_chosen-prefix_attack][SHA-1 is practically broken]]. Use a hash function from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2][SHA-2]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3][SHA-3]] family instead.
