HighwayHash
DESCRIPTION:
HighwayHash is a fast, keyed hash function intended for scenarios where you need strong, DoS-resistant hashing without the full overhead of a general-purpose cryptographic hash. It’s designed to defeat hash-flooding attacks by mixing input with wide SIMD operations and a branch-free inner loop, so adversaries can’t cheaply craft many colliding keys. The implementation targets multiple CPU families with vectorized code paths while keeping a portable fallback, yielding high throughput across platforms. It exposes simple one-shot and streaming APIs, so you can hash short keys or long byte streams with the same function. Typical uses include protecting hash tables that store untrusted keys and authenticating short-lived messages or records in storage systems. Although not a replacement for collision-resistant digests like SHA-2/3, it strikes a pragmatic balance of speed, simplicity, and resistance to common abuse patterns seen in production backends.
Features
- Keyed, SIMD-accelerated hash to resist hash-flooding
- Portable implementation with optimized paths for common CPUs
- One-shot and incremental/streaming APIs for arbitrary input sizes
- Fixed-width outputs suitable for table keys and fingerprints
- Deterministic results across platforms for stable storage
- Minimal dependencies and easy embedding in C/C++ projects
Programming Language
C++
