SipHash: a fast short-input PRF DOWNLOADS | ATTACKS | USERS | CRYPTANALYSIS | THIRD-PARTY IMPLEMENTATIONS SipHash is a family of pseudorandom functions (a.k.a. keyed hash functions) optimized for speed on short messages. Target applications include network traffic authentication and defense against hash-flooding DoS attacks. SipHash is secure, fast, and simple (for real): SipHash is simpler and faster than previous cryptographic algorithms (e.g. MACs based on universal hashing) SipHash is competitive in performance with insecure non-cryptographic algorithms (e.g. MurmurHash) We propose that hash tables switch to SipHash as a hash function. Users of SipHash already include FreeBSD, OpenDNS, Perl 5, Ruby, or Rust. The original SipHash returns 64-bit strings. A version returning 128-bit strings was later created, based on demand from users. Intellectual property: We aren't aware of any patents or patent applications relevant to SipHash, and we aren't planning to apply for any. The reference code of SipHash is released under CC0 license, a public domain-like license. SipHash was designed by Jean-Philippe Aumasson (Kudelski Security, Switzerland) Daniel J.

Attacks Jointly with Martin Boßlet, we demonstrated weaknesses in MurmurHash (used in Ruby, Java, etc.), CityHash (used in Google), and in Python's hash. Some of the technologies affected have switched to SipHash.
