[PATCH v3 1/3] siphash: add cryptographically secure hashtable function

Jason A. Donenfeld
2016-12-14T18:46:57Z

SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function.

SipHash isn't just some new trendy hash function. It's been around for a
while, and there really isn't anything that comes remotely close to
being useful in the way SipHash is. With that said, why do we need this?

There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector.

Linux developers already seem to be aware that this is an issue, and
various places that use hash tables in, say, a network context, use a
non-cryptographically secure function (usually jhash) and then try to
twiddle with the key on a time basis (or in many cases just do nothing
and hope that nobody notices). While this is an admirable attempt at
solving the problem, it doesn't actually fix it. SipHash fixes it.

(It fixes it in such a sound way that you could even build a stream
cipher out of SipHash that would resist the modern cryptanalysis.)

There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.

Secondly, a few places are using MD5 for creating secure sequence
numbers, port numbers, or fast random numbers. Siphash is a faster, more
fittting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations.

Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels. SipHash is
a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known problem, and it's
time we catch-up.

Changes from v2->v3:

- There is now a fast aligned version of the function and a not-as-fast
unaligned version. The requirements for each have been documented in
a docbook-style comment. As well, the header now contains a constant
for the expected alignment.

- The test suite has been updated to check both the unaligned and aligned
version of the function.
