Digest::Tiger - a module that implements the tiger hash
use Digest::Tiger; # hash() returns a 192 bit hash my $hash = Digest::Tiger::hash('Tiger') # hexhash() returns a hex representation of the 192 bits... # $hexhash should be 'DD00230799F5009FEC6DEBC838BB6A27DF2B9D6F110C7937' my $hexhash = Digest::Tiger::hexhash('Tiger')
A perl module that implements the tiger hash, which is believed to be secure and runs quickly on 64-bit processors.
Perl interface by Clinton Wong, reference C code used by Digest::Tiger supplied by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham.
This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
As of version 0.02, hexhash() returns a hex digest starting with the least significant byte first. For example:
Hash of "Tiger": 0 7 8 15 16 23 DD00230799F5009F EC6DEBC838BB6A27 DF2B9D6F110C7937 Instead of: 7 0 15 8 23 16 9F00F599072300DD 276ABB38C8EB6DEC 37790C116F9D2BDF
The print order issue was brought up by Gordon Mohr; Eli Biham clarifies with: "The testtiger.c was intended to allow easy testing of the code, rather than to define any particular print order. ...using a standard printing method, like the one for MD5 or SHA-1, the DD should probably should be printed first [for the example above]".
