HalfSipHash-2-4 is an experimental PRF which accepts 64-bit key
and variable-length data and returns 32-bit tag.
It is suitable as a hash function for hash tables (using a random
per-table seed as key) to protect against hash-flooding DoS attacks.
It can also be used as a fast checksum with a fixed key.
Do not use it for other cryptographic authentication purposes,
since 64-bit key is too small for that!
HalfSipHash was created by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
