As the abstract says: Some of the most practical hash functions have only appeared in theory papers, and some of them requires combining results from different theory papers. The goal here is to combine the information in lecture-style notes that can be used by theoreticians and practitioners alike, thus making these practical fruits of theory more widely accessible. Reviews are pretty common and while they might seem trivial, writing a good one is an astonishing amount of work.
