This is a hash function (as used in hash tables/Bloom filters and so forth), but it is not a cryptographic hash function. It is designed to be very fast for things like table lookups, but it is not designed to be strongly resistant to preimages, second-preimages, or collisions. Don't use it for security-relevant purposes.

I think BLAKE2 is probably the fastest and best cryptographic hash function you're likely to see for the foreseeable future?
