It would be nice to have two hash functions, optimized separately for 32- and 64-bit processors. As the Skein report says, the algorithm can be adapted to 32 bits easily enough. I also did some work a while ago to adapt the Skein parameter search code to develop a Skein-192 (6x32 bits) that would fit into registers on x86-32. (It got stalled when I e-mailed Niels Ferguson about it and never heard back; it fell off the to-do list while I was waiting.) The intended target was IPv6 address hashing for sequence number randomization, but it could be used for pool hashing, too. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
