anson5 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 What is the difference between the hash algo "tiger192,3" and "tiger192,4"? I ran fsum/HashCalc to get a TIGER hash from a string and it is different with either "tiger192,3" or "tiger192,4". I also tried using the hash as hex string input to rehash 3 or 4 times, but still cannot get an equivalent to that of "tiger192,3" or "tiger192,4"...

xyph Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 It has to do with the number of rounds used to calculate the hash. More rounds means more entropy as well as more computing time, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 its down so the padding used, so you can't just re-hash it! What are you trying to do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to TigerX,3 vs TigerX,4 by the way. The rest of your post needs elaboration IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
