It is intended to show +that the draft can be implemented as written (except I found a few +omissions in the text), and can interoperate with the official reference +implementation at http://github.com/cisco/hash-sigs. + +The user interface is modeled on `demo.c` from the Cisco implementation, +although all code was written independently. |
