Best algorithm for hashing number values?
问题 When dealing with a series of numbers, and wanting to use hash results for security reasons, what would be the best way to generate a hash value from a given series of digits? Examples of input would be credit card numbers, or bank account numbers. Preferred output would be a single unsigned integer to assist in matching purposes. My feeling is that most of the string implementations appear to have low entropy when run against such a short range of characters and because of that, the
