On 32-bit machines, the code of Tiger is not fully optimized. Still is hashes faster than MD5 on 486s and Pentiums. We conjecture that Tiger hashes faster than MD5 even on 16-bit machines.
Tiger has no usage restrictions nor patents.
We only ask you to let us know about your implementation and to cite the origin of Tiger and of the reference implementation. This page will maintain the latest information on the current status of Tiger, an updated copy of the paper, reference implementations, and the S box generation program. You are welcome to look at this page once in a while to get the latest news. It used the constant 0x80, rather than 0x01 to append this bit. The reference implementation and test results given above are already corrected.
