Description

Fast keyed hash functions can be used by software that needs strong hashing for tables, checks, or data processing.

It is useful for developers choosing SipHash or HighwayHash-style functions where speed and collision resistance matter. Hash functions are not automatically password hashing or encryption, so the security purpose and parameters must match the threat model.
