Expand description

Trait representing a family of fixed-length cryptographic hash functions which is generic over the input type.

A fixed-length hash has the property that the amount of data in the preimage is fixed, and so must be specified up front when constructing the hasher. The [FixedLenHasher::finalize] will fail if the amount of data the hasher is updated with does not match the specified length. A family of fixed-length hash functions retains the property that is it impossible to find collisions between any two inputs, even those differing in length.

This interface is otherwise similar to the Hasher trait.
