摘要:
Certain hash-based operations in network devices and other devices, such as mapping and/or lookup operations, are improved by manipulating a hash key prior to executing a hash function on the hash key and/or by manipulating outputs of a hash function. A device may be configured to manipulate hash keys and/or outputs using manipulation logic based on one or more predefined manipulation values. A similar hash-based operation may be performed by multiple devices within a network of computing devices. Different devices may utilize different predefined manipulation values for their respective implementations of the manipulation logic. For instance, each device may assign itself a random mask value for key transformation logic as part of an initialization process when the device powers up and/or each time the device reboots. In an embodiment, described techniques may increase the entropy of hashing function outputs in certain contexts, thereby increasing the effectiveness of certain hashing functions.
