I have orphaned the tthsum package (see #1119642).
The package description is:
tthsum generates or checks TTH checksums (root of the THEX hash
tree). The Merkle Hash Tree, invented by Ralph Merkle, is a hash
construct that exhibits desirable properties for verifying the
integrity of files and file subranges in an incremental or
out-of-order fashion. tthsum uses the Tiger hash algorithm for both
the internal and the leaf nodes.
.
The specification of the THEX algorithm is at:
