The LV Hashing Algorithm
This is a hashing algorithm of 256 bits, created by myself as an exercise, using the Merkle-Damgård construction. It was not audited yet, so the security can't be guaranted. Don't use it for a real application where the security is essencial (or any application at all).
Usage: lvha256sum [ -s <text> ] <filename>
Example: $ ./lvha256sum test_files/input_file.1

$ ./lvha256sum -s lvha256
