Jan Kalina commented on ELY-302:
--------------------------------

SHA-512-256 cannot be implemented using SHA-512 - the initialization vector would have to be different, which MessageDigest API does not allow - sun-specific SHA5 class would have to be extended.

There are two possibilities:
* to rely on MessageDigest SHA-512-256 provided by bouncycastle of other library (when not present any SHA-512-256 provider, it would be unsupported)
* to add custom implementation of SHA-512-256 as part of elytron - will try...

> [RFC 7616|http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7616.txt] was released, indicating that SHA-512-256 is a supported algorithm for digest HTTP mechanisms.  We need support for that algorithm as a password.  We also then should add a corresponding SASL variant to the DIGEST suite.
> There is no MessageDigest for SHA-512-256.  This can be accomplished by truncating the output of SHA-512 to 256 bits (32 bytes).  A wrapper MessageDigest could be created, or the ability to arbitrarily truncate the digest could be added to the DIGEST mechanism.
