14=head1 DESCRIPTION
15
16WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004
17designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. This implementation is
18only available with the legacy provider.

22=item EVP_whirlpool()
23
24The WHIRLPOOL algorithm that produces a message digest of 512-bits from a given
25input.

29=head1 NOTES
30
31Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
32calling this function multiple times and should consider using
33L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL(7)> instead.
34See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
35
36=head1 RETURN VALUES
37
38These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
39implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
40details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
