Re: [Mhash-dev] A feature reaquest: TigerTree

[Jonathan D. <im...@ya...>]

Hmmm. Interesting idea. I'm going to see how easy it
would be to add. If it's very easy, I'm going to try
an experiment, and add the ability to use any of the
supported hash algorithms in place of Tiger in this
tree. (Once the tree code is in, it's just a matter of
what function is called.)

It would definitely make a lot of sense to have this
in mhash. It would be good to actually have some way
of describing these sorts of encapsulations
generically, so anything similar can be added easily.

Would encapsulation be called as a hash function,
should the hash function API be modified to support
the passsing of an encapsulation function, or should
there be a totally distinct API for handling these
cases?

Thoughts, please?
