Editing Whirlpool (hash function) (section)

== Implementations ==
The authors provide [[reference implementation]]s of the Whirlpool algorithm, including a version written in [[C (programming language)|C]] and a version written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]].<ref name="whirlpoolpg" /> These reference implementations have been released into the public domain.<ref name="whirlpoolpg" />

Research on the security analysis of the Whirlpool function however, has revealed that on average, the introduction of 8 random faults is sufficient to compromise the 512-bit Whirlpool hash message being processed and the secret key of HMAC-Whirlpool within the context of Cloud of Things (CoTs). This emphasizes the need for increased security measures in its implementation.<ref>Li, W., Gao, Z., Gu, D., Ge, C., Liao, L., Zhou, Z., Liu, Y., & Liu, Z. (2017).
