Homomorphic hashing in golang

Package tz contains pure-Go (with some Assembly) implementation of hashing function described by Tillich and Zémor.

There are existing implementations already, however they are written in C.

Package gf127 contains arithmetic in GF(2^127) with x^127+x^63+1 as reduction polynomial.

Description

TZ Hash can be used instead of Merkle-tree for data-validation, because homomorphic hashes are concatenable: hash sum of data can be calculated based on hashes of chunks.

The example of how it works can be seen in tests and demo.
