Hashing bit-oriented data

2009-01-19 Thread Young, Alistair
Hello, Using the OpenSSL command line, is it possible to compute hashes of data which is not a whole number of bytes in length? For example, a block of data consisting of (say) 110 bits? Padding the data is not an option, because we need to be able to verify hashes which have been computed exte
