New Hash Functions Rain Hashes: Speed and Security Combined
2024-12-13
DOSAYGO Research has released Rain Hashes, a new family of hash functions featuring Rainbow and Rainstorm algorithms. Rainbow boasts exceptional speed, making it ideal for general-purpose hashing. Its C++ implementation has passed all SMHasher3 tests and is characterized by its concise and efficient code. Rainstorm prioritizes security; while not formally audited, its design incorporates elements from cryptographic hash functions and offers output sizes from 64 to 512 bits. The project provides C++, WASM, and Node.js implementations, along with a command-line tool and benchmark tests for easy evaluation and usage.
