Subject: format tags and gost 2012 aka stribog
We met GOST-34.11-2012 hashes in the PHDays Hash Runner 2015. Dhiru
Kholia added 2 formats for them (stribog-256 and stribog-512) because
the hashes use different length of block and the sizes of ciphertexts
differ too.
Dhiru used $stribog$ tag and distinguished hashes between the formats
by length.
There were no split() method that adds the tag while we needed it to
make --show=types to work. So I added the split() method and also
changed tags to $stribog-256$ and $stribog-512$ . It seemed good for
the contest environment.
I am not sure what approach is the best for real environment because
both of them have pros and contras. Any suggestions?
Also name stribog seems wrong: stribog is the name of algo, but it
may be friendlier to users to call it "GOST...". The tag may follow
the name. So $gost12$ ?
What important properties should format tags exhibit in general?
Thanks!
