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...
