- shin_lao 8y agoThese kind of hashes are used for hash tables, where you want a good compromise between speed and low collision probability. They can also be used as checksums to detect accidental data modification. They are not meant for cryptographically strong fingerprinting.
- winnin_the_game 8y agoSure, but for performance purposes, faster performance is better.
- klodolph 8y agoFaster is better for non-cryptographic hashes (like this one) and for cryptographic hashes (like SHA-2, MD5, etc.) For password hashing, you generally want a work function to increase the resource usage, or some alternative way of making cracking harder. That’s the case you’re thinking of, and it’s a very specific application, not what this new hash function is designed for.
