highwayhash | js implementation of HighwayHash , Google 's fast | Hashing library

highwayhash is a JavaScript library typically used in Security, Hashing, Nodejs applications. highwayhash has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i highwayhash' or download it from GitHub, npm.

Node.js implementation of Google's HighwayHash. Based on SipHash, it is believed to be robust against hash flooding and timing attacks because memory accesses are sequential and the algorithm is branch-free. This makes it suitable for random number generators and hash tables storing untrusted data. 64-bit hash values are platform independent and will not change for a given input. This is important for applications that write hashes to persistent storage. SIMD intrinsics (AVX2, SSE4.1) will be used when available at runtime. Expect up to 8 million operations/second, depending on the length of the input and the output type required. As JavaScript lacks native support for 64-bit integers, hash values are made available as hex, string, Buffer and low/high 32-bit unsigned integer types. If the input to be hashed is trusted, a cryptographically-insecure alternative is FarmHash. Pre-compiled binaries are provided for the most common platforms.
