Overview

Package sha256truncated provides a sha256 hash.Hash whose output is truncated to 20 bytes (160 bits).

This is the default hashing algorithm used by IAVL+ trees.

s256 := sha256.New() // crypto/sha256
s256Truncated := New() // this package

// Use like any other hash.Hash ...
// Contract:
s256Trunc.Sum(nil) == s256.Sum(nil)[:20]
