Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fingerprinting Haskell Objects

I’m not sure hashing is what is desired due to the ByteString -> MyTuple conversion that was mentioned. – Kyle Marek-Spartz On Oct 7, 2014, 4:15:55 PM, Alexander Kjeldaas wrote: Assuming the Generic instance is a stable interface, I would create a traversal of that, feeding directly into a Blake2b-implementation (a fast SHA3 finalist, tweaked). This gives you a cryptographically strong fingerprint, space usage is flexible (extract as many bytes as you want), is fast (~1GB/s), and with low complexity/external dependencies. Alexander
