Line 42: Wikipedi a0000000 00000009 Now that is a bit wasteful since it means hashing one extra block. So there is a slight speed optimisation that most hash ~~implementations~~algorithms use. If there is space enough among the zeros padded to the last block the length value can instead be padded there. Like this: Wikipedi a0000009 Note that to avoid confusion the ~~implementation~~hash algorithm must use a fixed bit-size for the length value, say 40-bit. So the length value padded in the end really is "00009" not just "9". == Davies-Meyer ==
