terminology issue, I guess, I'd call those checksums -- where speed is the overriding concern and you're not worried about attackers changing the data underneath you. (And you actually need to uniquely identify the data in a reliable way..)
- scott_s 14y agoSure, it's a terminology issue, but as several others have pointed out, you're the only one using your terminology. So expect people to be confused when you try to explain these things using your definitions.
