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 compile and run sanity checks (test vectors) for SipHash-2-4, the default version of SipHash.

The code can be adapted to implement SipHash-c-d, the version of SipHash with c compression rounds and d finalization rounds, by tweaking the lines

#define cROUNDS 2
#define dROUNDS 4

License

The SipHash reference code is released under CC0 license, a public domain-like licence.
