Tiger-Tree Hash
A Tiger-Tree Hash is a type of cryptographic hash function ensuring that smaller parts of a file is both valid and free from corruption. The Tiger-Tree Hash is calculated by applying the Tiger hash to 1024-byte blocks of a stream, then combining the interim values through a binary hash tree.
Use in software
Tiger-Tree Hashes are frequently used in file sharing software/protocols like Direct Connect, BearShare and Shareaza.
