  The original dissertation is in German: http://archiv.ub.uni-marburg.de/diss/z2004/0516/pdf/dhmd.pdf http://archiv.ub.uni-marburg.de/diss/z2004/0516/pdf/dhmd.pdf Translations, anyone? Wikibooks has code examples: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Checksums/Damm_Algorithm http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Checks...

  Interesting. The Wikipedia article says: > Despite its desirable properties in typical contexts where similar algorithms are used, the Damm algorithm is largely unknown and scarcely used in practice. To what degree is this true?

  This is a placeholder for the inevitable punning that will (and should?) ensue.
