Information about the package, freetiger, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The freetiger package is designed for, Free implementation of the tiger hash algorithm.
Package Name:
freetiger
Summary:
Free implementation of the tiger hash algorithm
Description:
freetiger is an implementation of the tiger hash algorithm made looking only at the tiger reference paper (thus ignoring the reference code until a working implementation was made). It also includes a modified version of the main program included with the tiger reference implementation which was used for benchmarking purposes. It has been optimized for usage in the TTH calculation algorithm and includes optimized versions that will calculate the hashes for the 1024 byte file chunks and the 48 byte hash concatenation appending the proper suffix automatically thus minimizing memory to memory copying. Also freetiger features interleaved hashing where the hashes of two different blocks are calculated at the same time interleaving the operations of one and the other. Using this increases the implementation performance. freetiger also supports SSE2 for key scheduling during the tiger rounds which also increases performance on processors supporting it and provides an implementation of the partial hashing scheme for a more secure password storage when authenticating clients using the GPA command in ADC.
