Specifies two hash-functions which make use of modular arithmetic. These hash-functions, which are believed to be collision-resistant, compress
messages of arbitrary but limited length to a hash-code whose length is determined by the length of the prime number used in the reductionfunction. Thus, the hash-code is easily scaled to the input length of any mechanism (e.g. signature algorithm, identification scheme).
