SipHash

Reference implementation of SipHash, a family of pseudorandom functions optimized for speed on short messages.

SipHash was designed as a mitigation to hash-flooding DoS attacks. It is now used in the hash tables implementation of Python, Ruby, Perl 5, etc.

SipHash was designed by Jean-Philippe Aumasson and Daniel J. Bernstein.

Usage

Running

  make

will build tests for

  • SipHash-2-4, the default version of SipHash returning 64-bit tags
  • SipHash-2-4 with doubled tag size, i.e. 128-bit tags
  • HalfSipHash-2-4, a version of SipHash working with 32-bit words and returning 32-bit tags by default
  • HalfSipHash-2-4 with doubled tag size, i.e. 64-bit tags
  ./test

verifies 64 test vectors, and

  ./debug

does the same and prints intermediate values.

The code can be adapted to implement SipHash-c-d, the version of SipHash with c compression rounds and d finalization rounds, by defining cROUNDS or dROUNDS when compiling. This can be done with -D command line arguments to many compilers such as below.

gcc -Wall --std=c99 -DcROUNDS=2 -DdROUNDS=4 siphash.c halfsiphash.c test.c -o test

The makefile also takes c and d rounds values as parameters.

make cROUNDS=2 dROUNDS=4

Obviously, if the number of rounds is modified then the test vectors won't verify.
