highwayhash-cffi 0.1.6

Tested, performant HighwayHash bindings for Python 3 with support for all output lengths.

HighwayHash CFFI

HighwayHash is a pseudorandom function (i.e. keyed hash function) optimized for speed on short messages, designed by Jyrki Alakuijala, Bill Cox and Jan Wassenberg of Google Research.

This package provides tested, performant Python 3 CFFI bindings to the HighwayHash reference implementation, including support for all output lengths.

Installation

You can install this package using pip or the included setup.py script:

# Using pip
pip install highwayhash-cffi

# Using setup.py
python setup.py install

Usage

from highwayhash import *

# Demonstration key and data
key = b"\0" * 32
data = b"\0" * 64

# HighwayHash with a 64-bit output length
output = highwayhash_64(key, data)

# HighwayHash with a 128-bit output length
output = highwayhash_128(key, data)

# HighwayHash with a 256-bit output length
output = highwayhash_256(key, data)
