20 
21         The DigestTransform interface defines the interface of message
22         digest algorithms, such as MD5 and SHA. Message digests are
23         secure hash functions that take a message of arbitrary length
24         and produce a fix length digest as output.
25 
26         A object implementing the DigestTransform should start out initialized.
27         The data is processed though calls to the update method. Once all data
28         has been sent to the algorithm, the digest is finalized and computed
29         with the digest method.
30 
31         The digest method may only be called once. After the digest
32         method has been called, the algorithm is reset to its initial
33         state.
34 
35         Using the update method, data may be processed piece by piece, 
36         which is useful for cases involving streams of data.
37 
38         For example:
39         ---
40         // create an MD5 hash algorithm
41         Md5 hash = new Md5();
42 
43         // process some data
44         hash.update("The quick brown fox");
45 
46         // process some more data
47         hash.update(" jumps over the lazy dog");
48 
49         // conclude algorithm and produce digest
50         ubyte[] digest = hash.binaryDigest();
51         ---
