--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Tomcat supports the use of any MessageDigest provided by the JRE. Additional
algorithms may be supported by adding 3rd party security providers to the JRE.

FYI:
- as far as the Sun JRE is concerned, SHA is an alias for SHA-1.
- the MessageDigests supported by the latest Sun JDKs for Java 5 to Java 7 are:
MD2, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512

One open source provider is BouncyCastle. It certainly provides additional
digests although I haven't investigated how secure they are.

I do not see the point in adding bloat to Tomcat to provide a feature that the
JRE already provides.
