Tiger cryptographic hash function for Go

---

About Tiger

• Tiger cryptographic hash function is designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995.
• The size of a Tiger hash value is 192 bits. Truncated versions (Tiger/128, Tiger/160) are simply prefixes of Tiger/192.
• Tiger2 is a variant where the message is padded by first appending a byte 0x80, rather than 0x01 as in the case of Tiger.
