Hashchain for Windows x86 - 32-bit version

• Original C code from: https://github.com/brenns10/hashchain

Libraries	Original location (change for your purposes)
OpenSSL v1+	C:\BATCHES\include\openssl (includes <openssl/lib.h>
lcrypto dll	C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib (linked by compiler directly)

Build (compilation.bat //MinGW x86 required)

gcc hashchain.c -o hashchain.exe -lcrypto -I C:\BATCHES\include

Create (hash_function.bat)

hashchain.exe create hash_function LENGHT "STRING FOR HASH"

Verify (hash_function.bat) - on success prints success, otherwise failure

hashchain.exe verify hash_function hash1_base64 hash2_base64

• hash1_base64(n) --> hash2_base64(n+1) - for instance (n, n+1 are base64_decoded)
• base64 encode is used only for printf
