Abstract:We introduce, motivate and study ε-almost collision-flat (ACFU) universal hash functions f : X ×S → A. Their main property is that the number of collisions in any given value is bounded. Each ε-ACFU hash function is an ε-almost universal (AU) hash function, and every ε-almost strongly universal (ASU) hash function is an ε-ACFU hash function. We study how the size of the seed set S depends on ε, |X | and |A|. Depending on how these parameters are interrelated, seed-minimizing ACFU hash functions are equivalent … Show more
