Description: Fast strong hash functions: SipHash/HighwayHash (library)
Highwayhash provides three 'strong' (well-distributed and unpredictable)
hash functions: a faster version of SipHash, a data-parallel variant of
SipHash using tree hashing, and an even faster algorithm called HighwayHash.
.
SipHash is a fast but 'cryptographically strong' pseudo-random function by
Aumasson and Bernstein [https://www.131002.net/siphash/siphash.pdf].
.
SipTreeHash slices inputs into 8-byte packets and computes their SipHash in
parallel, which is faster when processing at least 96 bytes.
.
HighwayHash is a new way of mixing inputs which may inspire new
cryptographically strong hashes. Large inputs are processed at a rate of
0.3 cycles per byte, and latency remains low even for small inputs.
HighwayHash is faster than SipHash for all input sizes, with about 3.8 times
higher throughput at 1 KiB.
.
This package ships the shared object.
