Anyone knows which implementation method of SHA Hash function does not use MessageDigest in J2SE?

Thanks

The SHA family of hash algorithms are general, non-platform-dependent cryptographic primitives. There is a myriad of implementations, in most any widely used programming language, so perhaps you could be a bit more specific. Are you basically searching for any implementation that does not use the MessageDigest class in J2SE, or are you looking for a Java implementation that does not use the MessageDigest class in J2SE?

The former is broad and would suggest any implementation that is not a product of the MessageDigest class in J2SE. However, the latter narrows it down to within the same language and platform, but not necessarily a dependant of a particular class. This helps tremendously, when making suggestions or pointing to implementations.

If as a last resort, you can look at the official specifications for these message digest functions and build your own.
