  2. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A universal hashing scheme is a randomized algorithm that selects a hash function h among a family of such functions, in such a way that the probability of a collision of any two distinct keys is 1/m, where m is the number of distinct hash values desired—independently of the two keys. Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...

  4. Rolling hash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash

    A rolling hash (also known as recursive hashing or rolling checksum) is a hash function where the input is hashed in a window that moves through the input.. A few hash functions allow a rolling hash to be computed very quickly—the new hash value is rapidly calculated given only the old hash value, the old value removed from the window, and the new value added to the window—similar to the ...

  6. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA), first published in 2001. They are built using the Merkle–Damgård structure, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a (classified) specialized block cipher.

  7. Locality-sensitive hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality-sensitive_hashing

    In computer science, locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a fuzzy hashing technique that hashes similar input items into the same "buckets" with high probability. [1] ( The number of buckets is much smaller than the universe of possible input items.) [1] Since similar items end up in the same buckets, this technique can be used for data clustering and nearest neighbor search.

  8. Perfect hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function

    A hash function is k-perfect if at most k elements from S are mapped onto the same value in the range. The "hash, displace, and compress" algorithm can be used to construct k-perfect hash functions by allowing up to k collisions. The changes necessary to accomplish this are minimal, and are underlined in the adapted pseudocode below:

  9. Jenkins hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_hash_function

    The lookup3 function consumes input in 12 byte (96 bit) chunks. [9] It may be appropriate when speed is more important than simplicity. Note, though, that any speed improvement from the use of this hash is only likely to be useful for large keys, and that the increased complexity may also have speed consequences such as preventing an optimizing compiler from inlining the hash function.
