It claims up to 13.8 GB/sec on a Core i5.
But SipHash seems to be the function of choice for fast "secure" hashing like for hashtables.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoIs it as good as a secure hash otherwise for random non-malicious data?
- MichaelGG 12y agoIt's used as a checksum for LZ4 compression. I'd use it where you'd consider something like CRC. It doesn't claim any security properties like SipHash.
