Abstract

A hash unit, including an input interface adapted to receive an input key, an arbitrary number generator adapted to generate one or more arbitrary numbers, a processor adapted to apply a multi-operand function to an input key received by the input interface together with each of one or more arbitrary numbers generated by the generator so as to generate intermediate results, to mathematically combine the digits of the intermediate results to generate respective short bit results having less than half the bits of the intermediate results and to concatenate the short bit results and an output unit adapted to provide the concatenated short bit results for use as an output hash key.
