- Returns:
a hash object for the given algorithm
- Return type:

hashlib.new(). It has no user-visible constructor.- update(data: circuitpython_typing.ReadableBuffer) None
Update the hash with the given bytes.
- Parameters:
data (ReadableBuffer) – Update the hash from data in this buffer
- digest() bytes
Returns the current digest as bytes() with a length of
hashlib.Hash.digest_size.
