/*
* Short hash is a fast algorithm intended for hash tables and anything
* else that does not require data integrity. There is the added benefit
* of a key which will alter the output of the hash.
* Many applications and programming language implementations were
* recently found to be vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks when
* a hash function with weak security guarantees, such as Murmurhash
* 3, was used to construct a hash table.
*
* In order to address this, Sodium provides the crypto_shorthash()
* function, which outputs short but unpredictable (without knowing
* the secret key) values suitable for picking a list in a hash table
* for a given key.
*
* This function is optimized for short inputs.
*
* The output of this function is only 64 bits. Therefore, it should
* not be considered collision-resistant.
*
* Use cases:
*
* - Hash tables
* - Probabilistic data structures such as Bloom filters
* - Integrity checking in interactive protocols
