+
+Traits which describe functionality of [cryptographic hash functions][0], a.k.a.
+digest algorithms.
+
+See [RustCrypto/hashes][1] for implementations which use this trait.
+
+[Documentation][docs-link]
+
+## Minimum Supported Rust Version
+
+Rust **1.41** or higher.
+
+Minimum supported Rust version can be changed in the future, but it will be
+done with a minor version bump.
+
+## SemVer Policy
+
+- All on-by-default features of this library are covered by SemVer
+- MSRV is considered exempt from SemVer as noted above
+
+## Usage
+
+Let us demonstrate how to use crates in this repository using Sha256 as an
+example.
+
+First add the `sha2` crate to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+sha2 = "0.10"
+```
+
+`sha2` and other crates re-export `digest` crate and `Digest` trait for
+convenience, so you don't have to add `digest` crate as an explicit dependency.
+
+Now you can write the following code:
+
+```rust
+use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};
+
+let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
+let data = b"Hello world!";
+hasher.update(data);
+// `input` can be called repeatedly and is generic over `AsRef<[u8]>`
+hasher.update("String data");
+// Note that calling `finalize()` consumes hasher
+let hash = hasher.finalize();
+println!("Result: {:x}", hash);
+```
+
+In this example `hash` has type [`GenericArray<u8, U64>`][2], which is a generic
+alternative to `[u8; 64]`.
+
+Alternatively you can use chained approach, which is equivalent to the previous
+example:
+
+```rust
+let hash = Sha256::new()
+ .chain_update(b"Hello world!")
+ .chain_update("String data")
+ .finalize();
+
+println!("Result: {:x}", hash);
+```
+
+If the whole message is available you also can use convenience `digest` method:
+
+```rust
+let hash = Sha256::digest(b"my message");
+println!("Result: {:x}", hash);
+```
+
+### Hashing `Read`-able objects
+
+If you want to hash data from [`Read`][3] trait (e.g. from file) you can rely on
+implementation of [`Write`][4] trait (requires enabled-by-default `std` feature):
+
+```rust
+use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};
+use std::{fs, io};
+
+let mut file = fs::File::open(&path)?;
+let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
+let n = io::copy(&mut file, &mut hasher)?;
+let hash = hasher.finalize();
+
+println!("Path: {}", path);
+println!("Bytes processed: {}", n);
+println!("Hash value: {:x}", hash);
+```
+
+### Generic code
+
+You can write generic code over `Digest` (or other traits from `digest` crate)
+trait which will work over different hash functions:
+
+```rust
+use digest::Digest;
+
+// Toy example, do not use it in practice!
+// Instead use crates from: https://github.com/RustCrypto/password-hashing
+fn hash_password<D: Digest>(password: &str, salt: &str, output: &mut [u8]) {
+ let mut hasher = D::new();
+ hasher.update(password.as_bytes());
+ hasher.update(b"$");
+ hasher.update(salt.as_bytes());
+ output.copy_from_slice(hasher.finalize().as_slice())
+}
+
+let mut buf1 = [0u8; 32];
+let mut buf2 = [0u8; 64];
+
+hash_password::<sha2::Sha256>("my_password", "abcd", &mut buf1);
+hash_password::<sha2::Sha512>("my_password", "abcd", &mut buf2);
+```
+
+If you want to use hash functions with trait objects, use `digest::DynDigest`
+trait.
