It might be a good project for someone to take this I-D and convert
it to an apache utility library.

> The United States of America has adopted a suite of secure hash
>    algorithms (SHAs), including four beyond SHA-1, as part of a

>    Information Processing Standard (FIPS), specifically SHA-224 [RFC

>    conveniently available to the Internet community. The sample code
>    supports input strings of arbitrary bit length. SHA-1's sample code
