 ## Disclaimer
 
-It is **not a cryptographically secure** hash, so it is strongly recommended that you do not use this hash for cryptographic purproses.  Furthermore, this hashing algorithm was not designed to prevent any attacks for determining collisions which could be used to potentially cause quadratic behavior in `HashMap`s.  So it is not recommended to expose this hash in places where collissions or DDOS attacks may be a concern.
