Hi, I am looking for an implementation of the sha-1 algorithm that I can use for the guid library that I am writing. Since I hope to submit this to boost, I need the sha-1 code to conform to the boost license requirements. I have found http://www.packetizer.com/security/sha1/.

Would this license prevent the guid library from being accepted as a boost library? If so, does anyone know of code for the sha-1 algorithm that would not prevent the guid library from being accepted as a boost library? Thanks in advance, Andy Tompkins
I've used the Crypto++ library in the past, which includes a SHA-1 implementation which, if I recall, is in the public domain (as is most of the library).

FWIW I think it would be really great to have sha1/md5 in boost... I know there's already crc, but for me sha1/md5 sounds like basic things boost should have already. Once my work on the timer is done I was somehow planning to look after md5, but as you speak about sha1 here I thought it'd be worth mentionning it. Philippe
