I'm confused. Supercop is a benchmark for cryptographic hash functions, but SMHasher is a test for non-cryptographic hash functions. The use cases list cryptography, but also universal hash functions which are generally not crypto-grade. It compares itself to the SHA hashes, but only has 64 bit output.
Is Beamsplitter supposed to be cryptography grade or not?
- hackcasual 6y agoIt's not, at least not now it seems. It's just seeing if you can use an S-box design to create a "universal" hash.
- rurban 6y agoNo. It's a quality hash, like crypto hashes, but of those one of the slowest ones. Extremely slow, like Siphash. But it's useful for Javascript, I guess.
