[GHASH][1] is a [universal hash function][2] which operates over GF(2^128) and
|
||
|
|
can be used for constructing a [Message Authentication Code (MAC)][3].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its primary intended use is for implementing [AES-GCM][4].

## Security
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### ⚠️ Warning: [Hazmat!][hazmat-link]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Universal hash functions have subtle security properties and using them
|
||
|
|
correctly is difficult. See the [toplevel README.md](../README.md) for more
|
||
|
|
information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This crate has received one [security audit by NCC Group][5], with no significant
|
||
|
|
findings. We would like to thank [MobileCoin][6] for funding the audit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All implementations contained in the crate are designed to execute in constant
|
||
|
|
time, either by relying on hardware intrinsics (i.e. AVX2 on x86/x86_64), or
|
||
|
|
using a portable implementation which is only constant time on processors which
|
||
|
|
implement constant-time multiplication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is not suitable for use on processors with a variable-time multiplication
|
||
|
|
operation (e.g. short circuit on multiply-by-zero / multiply-by-one, such as
|
||
|
|
certain 32-bit PowerPC CPUs and some non-ARM microcontrollers).
