The non-cryptographic hash functions (NCHFs) are hash functions intended for applications that do not need the rigorous security requirements of the cryptographic hash functions and therefore can be faster and less resource-intensive. Typical examples of CPU-optimized non-cryptographic hashes include FNV-1a and Murmur3. Some non-cryptographic hash functions are used in cryptographic applications ; in this case they are described as universal hash functions.
