# Homomorphic hashing in golang
Package **tz** containts pure-Go implementation of hashing function described by Tillich and Źemor in [1] .
There are existing implementations already (e.g. [2]), however it is written in C.
Package **gf127** contains arithmetic in GF(2^127) with _x^127+x^63+1_ as reduction polynomial.
# Description
It can be used instead of Merkle-tree for data-validation, because homomorphic hashes
are concatable: hash sum of data can be calculated based on hashes of chunks.
The example of how it works can be seen in tests.
