/**
* This interface documents the API for a hash function. This
* interface somewhat mimics the standard {@code
* java.security.MessageDigest} class. We do not extend that class in
* order to provide compatibility with reduced Java implementations such
* as J2ME. Implementing a {@code java.security.Provider} compatible
* with Sun's JCA ought to be easy.
*
* A {@code Digest} object maintains a running state for a hash
* function computation. Data is inserted with {@code update()} calls;
* the result is obtained from a {@code digest()} method (where some
* final data can be inserted as well). When a digest output has been
* produced, the objet is automatically resetted, and can be used
* immediately for another digest operation. The state of a computation
* can be cloned with the {@link #copy} method; this can be used to get
* a partial hash result without interrupting the complete
* computation.
*
* {@code Digest} objects are stateful and hence not thread-safe;
* however, distinct {@code Digest} objects can be accessed concurrently
* without any problem.
