Alias for: update
digest_obj.block_length → Integer

Returns the block length of the digest in bytes.

Digest::SHA256.new.block_length * 8
# => 512
Digest::SHA384.new.block_length * 8
# => 1024
Digest::SHA512.new.block_length * 8
# => 1024

def block_length
  @sha2.block_length
end
digest_obj.digest_length → Integer

Returns the length of the hash value of the digest in bytes.

Digest::SHA256.new.digest_length * 8
# => 256
Digest::SHA384.new.digest_length * 8
# => 384
Digest::SHA512.new.digest_length * 8
# => 512

For example, digests produced by Digest::SHA256 will always be 32 bytes (256 bits) in size.
