Implementation of Skein hash algorithm. Skein is a cryptographic hash function and one out of five finalists in the NIST hash function competition to design what will become the SHA-3 standard, the intended successor of SHA-1 and SHA-2. According to Stefan Lucks, the name Skein refers to how the Skein function intertwines the input, similar to a coil of yarn, which is called a skein.
