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

Title : US Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA)
Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd, T. Hansen
Filename : draft-eastlake-sha2-01.txt
Pages : 99
Date : 2006-1-4
The United States of America has adopted a suite of secure hash
algorithms (SHAs), including four beyond SHA-1, as part of a
Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS), specifically SHA-224 [RFC
3874], SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. The purpose of this document
is to make open source code performing these hash functions
conveniently available to the Internet community. The sample code
supports input strings of arbitrary bit length. SHA-1's sample code
from [RFC 3174] has also been updated to handle an input string of
arbitrary length. Most of the text herein was adapted by the
authors
from FIPS 180-2.
