Is SipHash really that fast in this context? AFAIK it's only much faster for short strings, since its block size is so small. The downsides of SipHash are: * lack of collision resistance when the key is known * small 64 bit output, which means that collisions will happen frequently and need to be handled SipHash is great for use in hash tables, where it's fine if a bucket contains two or three items, but I don't think it's a good match for ZFS. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
