This module implements the Tiger algorithm by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham.
class Tiger : MerkleDamgard [final]
this()
Construct an Tiger
uint digestSize() [override]
The size of a tiger digest is 24 bytes
void reset() [override]
Initialize the cipher

Remarks:

Returns the cipher state to it's initial value
void createDigest(ubyte[] buf) [override]
Obtain the digest

Returns:

the digest

Remarks:

Returns a digest of the current cipher state, this may be the final digest, or a digest of the state between calls to update()
uint passes()
Get the number of passes being performed

Returns:

the number of passes

Remarks:

The Tiger algorithm may perform an arbitrary number of passes the minimum recommended number is 3 and this number should be quite secure however the "ultra-cautious" may wish to increase this number.
void passes(uint n)
Set the number of passes to be performed

Parameters:

nthe number of passes to perform

Remarks:

The Tiger algorithm may perform an arbitrary number of passes the minimum recommended number is 3 and this number should be quite secure however the "ultra-cautious" may wish to increase this number.
uint blockSize() [protected, override]
block size

Returns:

the block size

Remarks:

Specifies the size (in bytes) of the block of data to pass to each call to transform(). For Tiger the blockSize is 64.
uint addSize() [protected, override]
Length padding size

Returns:

the length padding size

Remarks:

Specifies the size (in bytes) of the padding which uses the length of the data which has been ciphered, this padding is carried out by the padLength method. For Tiger the addSize is 8.
void padMessage(ubyte[] at) [protected, override]
Pads the cipher data

Parameters:

dataa slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding

Remarks:

Fills the passed buffer slice with the appropriate padding for the final call to transform(). This padding will fill the cipher buffer up to blockSize()-addSize().
void padLength(ubyte[] at, ulong length) [protected, override]
Performs the length padding

Parameters:

datathe slice of the cipher buffer to fill with padding
lengththe length of the data which has been ciphered

Remarks:

Fills the passed buffer slice with addSize() bytes of padding based on the length in bytes of the input data which has been ciphered.
void transform(const(ubyte[]) input) [protected, override]
Performs the cipher on a block of data

Parameters:

datathe block of data to cipher

Remarks:

The actual cipher algorithm is carried out by this method on the passed block of data. This method is called for every blockSize() bytes of input data and once more with the remaining data padded to blockSize().
