I note that the Abstract says: Abstract 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. .... I think this should be updated accordingly as well.
