Crypto lacks an implementation of MD4 #279
Description
by calennert:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Code:
package main
import (
"fmt";
"crypto/md4";
"io"
)
func main() {
h := md4.New();
io.WriteString(h, "abc");
fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum());
}
2. Fails to compile due to lack of 'crypto/md4' package.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is proper compilation with stdout output
being 'a448017aaf21d8525fc10ae87aa6729d'.
What is your $GOOS? $GOARCH?
GOOS=linux
GOARCH=amd64

Please provide any additional information below.
The attached patch provides an implementation of MD4 via a new
package 'crypto/md4'. The 'crypto/md5' package provided the bulk of the
implementation details (thanks!).
Compile (all.bash) compiles properly and all MD4 tests pass.
Note: Having MD4 in Go will facilitate working with mechanisms such as
NLTM that make use of this hashing algorithm.
