I need a quick checksum (as fast as possilbe) for small strings (20-500 chars).
I need the source code and that must be small! (about 100 LOC max)
If it could generate strings in Base32/64. (or something similar) it would be perfect. Basically the checksums cannot use any "bad" chars.. you know.. the usual (){}[].,;:/+-\| etc
Clarifications
It could be strong/weak, that really doesn't matter since it is only for behind-the-scenes purposes.
It need not contain all the data of the original string since I will be only doing comparison with generated checksums, I don't expect any sort of "decryption".
Quick implementation in C, no copyrights from my side, so use it as you wish. But please note that this is a very weak "checksum", so don't use it for serious things :) - but that's what you wanted, isn't it?
This returns an 32-bit integer checksum encoded as an string containing its hex value.
If the checksum function doesn't satisfy your needs, you can change the chk += ((int)(str[i]) * (i + 1)); line to something better (f.e. multiplication, addition and bitwise rotating would be much better).
EDIT: Following hughdbrown's advice and one of the answers he linked, I changed the for loop so it doesn't call strlen with every iteration.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
char* hextab = "0123456789ABCDEF";
char* encode_int(int i) {
char* c = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * 9);
for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
c[(j << 1)] = hextab[((i % 256) >> 4)];
c[(j << 1) + 1] = hextab[((i % 256) % 16)];
i = (i >> 8);
}
c[8] = 0;
return c;
}
int checksum(char* str) {
int i;
int chk = 0x12345678;
for (i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
chk += ((int)(str[i]) * (i + 1));
}
return chk;
}
int main() {
char* str1 = "Teststring";
char* str2 = "Teststring2";
printf("string: %s, checksum string: %s\n", str1, encode_int(checksum(str1)));
printf("string: %s, checksum string: %s\n", str2, encode_int(checksum(str2)));
return 0;
}
schnaader's implementation is indeed very fast. Here it is in Javascript:
function checksum(s)
{
var chk = 0x12345678;
var len = s.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
chk += (s.charCodeAt(i) * (i + 1));
}
return (chk & 0xffffffff).toString(16);
}
Using Google Chrome, this function takes just 5ms to run for 1-megabyte strings, versus 330ms using a crc32 function.
Here's a Javascript implementation of CRC32:
function crc32 ( str ) {
// http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
// + original by: Webtoolkit.info (http://www.webtoolkit.info/)
// + improved by: T0bsn
// - depends on: utf8_encode
// * example 1: crc32('Kevin van Zonneveld');
// * returns 1: 1249991249
str = utf8_encode(str);

Pretty much any algorithm you could come up with would satisfy your criteria. E.g.
CHECKSUM = SUM( i=0 .. input.length, input[i] )
to make it "bad-char-safe"
CHECKSUM = 'A' + SUM( i=0 .. input.length, input[i] ) MODULO 26
An attempt that tries to reduce the number of collisions by increasing the output domain
# Assume BASE64[ ] is the safe output alphabet array.
TMP = SUM( i=0 .. input.length, input[i] ) MODULO 2^24
FOR I = 0..3
CHECKSUM[I] = BASE64[TMP MODULO 64]
TMP = TMP / 64
A solution that further reduces the number of collisions by calculating different values for different permuations
# Assume BASE64[ ] is the safe output alphabet array.
TMP = SUM( i=0 .. input.length, i*input[i] ) MODULO 2^24
FOR I = 0..3
CHECKSUM[I] = BASE64[TMP MODULO 64]
TMP = TMP / 64
In general, all these variations perform pretty well if the input is random enough and sparse enough (of course, "enough" differs in each case)
It is 207 lines, but it is a javascript implementation of md5:
http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-md5.html
Couple that with a javascript base64:
http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html
These scripts are totally self contained, so they have some redundancies (such as the UTF-8 encode/decode) that could easily be made common to them.
EDIT: On the same site you can find a javascript crc32:
to use just javascript you could possibly use this crc function: http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-crc32.html

in php you could do it with one line with an md5 hash, on a string of length 20 - 500 it should be pretty fast
$hash_code = md5($string_to_hash);
here's some more info: http://us.php.net/md5
also, if you wanted to choose your hashing algorithm you could use the hash php function: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php
What you are looking for is an algorithm to create a hash code for a string. In C#:
byte[] bytesToHash = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToHash);
HashAlgorithm sha = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] hash = sha.ComputeHash(dataArray);
string result = Convert.ToBase64String(hash);
md5sum, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum are available to most *nix distributions
This may seem a bit late and partly off topic... I used joelpt's JS-implementation of schnaader's solution in an application based on JS and PHP. And, I assume that the PHP implementation might be helpful for others, as well.
