To encrypt 56 bytes, do this:
1. set the 56 bytes, then set 0x80 as the 57th, and null out the rest. Do the sha.
2. create another buffer. NULL the entire buffer, but put 56<<3 into the length location (last 8 bytes, BE format, I think).
3. perform sha on this, using the results of step 1 as the init seed.
I believe this can be done in sha1-mmx.S also. I know it can be done in sse2-i

To perform sha of any length, you simply cut up the message into 64 byte blocks. Only the 'first' one of these gets the normal init of the crypt. From the first one forward, you need to reapply the results of the prior crypt into the next crypt. SHA1 (or md4/md5, etc), ALL must have a 0x80 (1 bit) set right after the bytes of data (we are assuming data to be encrypted is byte data). Also, the last 8 bytes of the last block are the number of bits being encrypted. So, you need to have 9 bytes free on the last block. If when cutting up the data to be encrypted, you end up with 56 to 64 bytes, then you properly append the bit (the 0x80), and then a new whole 'NULL' block, with only the bit length set. NOTE, if you have exactly 64 bytes (or 128, etc), then you encrypt that block, then create a 'NULL' block, but set the length into the length field, and set the very first byte of this block to a 0x80.
Jim.
