Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:
SipHash is a cryptographically secure PRF, not a cryptographic hashing algorithm, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0456/#siphash I'm strongly against using a different algorithm when the rest of the world is using either SipHash-2-4 or SipHash-1-3. A minuscule performance gain is not worth the risk. If users like to use an alternative algorithm, then they are free to do so. PEP 456 gives them a hook point to override the algorithm on build time of CPython. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29410> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
