Main Features

  • High-Performing: deeply-optimized code makes extensive use of method inlining and unsafe memory pointers in order to speed up the computations.
  • Allocation-Free: all the internal functions follow a zero-allocation approach, only primitive types and/or arrays of primitive types are used by the algorithms.
  • Endian-Agnostic: all the hashes provide consistent results regardless of the machine byte order, while only moderately affecting the overall performance of the computations.
  • Platform-Agnostic: the code has been developed under .NET Standard 2.0 framework and both x86 and x64 environments are fully supported.

Hashes

The library includes the following non-cryptographic hashes:
