public class TMMH16
extends BaseMac

TMMH is a universal hash function suitable for message authentication in the Wegman-Carter paradigm, as in the Stream Cipher Security Transform. It is simple, quick, and especially appropriate for Digital Signal Processors and other processors with a fast multiply operation, though a straightforward implementation requires storage equal in length to the largest message to be hashed.

TMMH is a simple hash function which maps a key and a message to a hash value. There are two versions of TMMH: TMMH/16 and TMMH/32. TMMH can be used as a message authentication code, as described in Section 5 (see References).

The key, message, and hash value are all octet strings, and the lengths of these quantities are denoted as `KEY_LENGTH`, `MESSAGE_LENGTH`, and `TAG_LENGTH`, respectively. The values of `KEY_LENGTH` and `TAG_LENGTH` MUST be fixed for any particular fixed value of the key, and must obey the alignment restrictions described below.

The parameter `MAX_HASH_LENGTH`, which denotes the maximum value which `MESSAGE_LENGTH` may take, is equal to `KEY_LENGTH - TAG_LENGTH`.
