Title: Create cryptographic hash digests of R objects
Description: The digest package provides functions for the creation of
        `hash' digests of arbitrary R objects using the md5, sha-1 and
        crc32 algorithms permitting easy comparison of R language
        objects. The md5 algorithm by Ron Rivest is specified in RFC
        1321, the SHA-1 algorithm is specified in FIPS-180-1 and the
        crc32 algorithm is described in
        ftp://ftp.rocksoft.com/cliens/rocksoft/papers/crc_v3.txt. For
        md5 and sha-1, this packages uses two small standalone C
        implementations that were provided by by Christophe Devine.
        For crc32, code from the zlib library is used. . Please note
        that this package is not meant to be used for cryptographic
        purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested)
        libraries such as OpenSSL should be used.
