Crate nitro_hash 

nitro_hash

A lightweight algebraic fingerprinting / hash system based on polynomial interpolation over a finite field.

Overview

This crate builds a configurable hash by:

• Interpreting input as field elements
• Constructing a randomized polynomial
• Evaluating via Lagrange interpolation
• Encoding outputs as bytes

Output sizes

Each configuration uses K evaluation points:

• 2 → 122-bit hash
• 3 → 183-bit hash
• 4 → 244-bit hash
• 5 → 305-bit hash

Structs

HashConfig

Configuration for the hashing system.

Functions

hex

Converts a 32-byte array into a hex string.

str_to_vec_i64

Converts a string into a vector of u64 blocks.

to_vec_u8

Converts a vector of u64 field elements into raw bytes.
