Description Eric Roman 2014-04-23 01:13:59 UTC 
The text describing SHA digest does not allow for any errors to be returned.

However the NSS library allows for errors to occur in such cases, so implementations based on it may have the need to fail.

I propose allowing digest() to fail with OperationError similar to encrypt().
