Non-cryptographic Hash Functions

August 8, 2021 / Computer & Software /

See: List of non-cryptographic hash functions Pearson hashing Pearson hashing is a hash function designed for fast execution on processors with 8-bit registers. This hash function is a CBC-MAC that uses an 8-bit substitution cipher implemented via the substitution table. An 8-bit cipher has negligible cryptographic security, so the Pearson hash function is not cryptographically strong, but it is useful for implementing hash tables or as a data integrity check …
