Abstract

We introduce a new technique for constructing a family of universal hash functions. At its center is a simple metaphor: to hash a string x , cast each of its words into a small number of buckets; xor the contents of each bucket; then collect up all the buckets' contents. Used in the context of Wegman—Carter authentication, this style of hash function provides a fast approach for software message authentication.
