* Package name : golang-github-multiformats-go-multihash Version : 0.2.3-1 Upstream Author : Multiformats * URL : https://github.com/multiformats/go-multihash * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : Multihash implementation in Go Multihash is a protocol that describes a hash digest using a self-describing format. It prefixes the hash with an identifier for the hashing algorithm and the length of the digest in bytes. This allows systems to handle various hashing algorithms in a unified way, providing flexibility and future-proofing without requiring prior knowledge of the specific hash function used. . This library provides functions for encoding and decoding Multihash values, summing data with various cryptographic hash functions into Multihash format, and verifying Multihash integrity. . It is a foundational component of content-addressed systems like IPFS, which rely on self-describing data for distributed and decentralized content verification.
