Hash() - SHA-512 clarification

Does anyone know what algorithm is used in the SHA-512 option for the Hash function?

The CF docs state "SHA-512: Generates an 88-character string using the SHA-1 algorithm specified by FIPS-180-2."

I'm assuming this is a typo, since 256, 384, etc. all state that they use the corresponding algorithm... but can anyone say for sure?

Thanks!

    It's most definitely a typo because SHA-512 is part of the SHA2 family

    of hash functions.
