hmm, "jumble" describes something that is scrambled or not in order, such as the 64-bit hash produced. It sounds like the final product. Fingerprinting on the other hand [1] sounds more of the process to add all the pieces that will eventually be hashed ( or jumbled ). hash and jumble are synonyms according to Merriam-Webster [2] -- Sami [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint_(computing) [2] https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/hash
