Package siphash implements the SipHash-64 and SipHash-128 pseudo-random-functions - with the recommended parameters: c = 2 and d = 4. SipHash computes a message authentication code (MAC) from a variable-length message and a 128 bit secret key. SipHash was designed to be efficient, even for short inputs, with performance comparable to non-cryptographic hash functions. SipHash cannot be used as a cryptographic hash function. Neither SipHash-64 nor SipHash-128 are strong collision resistant. SipHash was designed to defend hash flooding DoS attacks. SipHash-64 can be used as hashing scheme within hash maps or other key-value data structures. SipHash-128 can be used to compute a 128 bit authentication tag for messages.
