HashX v1.0.1 - Initial Release
<h1>HashX High-Performance 512-bit Hashing Algorithm</h1>
<p>HashX is an ultra-fast, efficient, and secure 512-bit hashing algorithm designed for data integrity verification, indexing, checksums, and cryptographic applications.</p>
<p>Built with multiprocessing, optimized bitwise operations, and an advanced mixing function, HashX delivers exceptional speed, enhanced security, and scalability.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>High-Speed Processing</strong>: Optimized bitwise operations & low-level transformations.</li>
<li><strong>Multiprocessing Execution</strong>: Parallel chunk processing for maximum performance.</li>
<li><strong>512-bit Strong Hash Output</strong>: Higher entropy for better collision resistance.</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Cryptographic Mixing</strong>: Inspired by MurmurHash3 and SipHash for strong diffusion.</li>
<li><strong>Keyed Hashing (HMAC-like security)</strong>: Protection against pre-image attacks.</li>
<li><strong>Bitwise Rotation Optimization</strong>: Faster and more secure state transformations.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight & Scalable</strong>: Low memory usage, works on large datasets.</li>
<li><strong>Strong Avalanche Effect</strong>: Small input changes drastically modify the hash.</li>
<li><strong>Cross-Platform & Extensible</strong>: Works seamlessly in Python, with planned support for C/Rust.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Installation</h2>
<h3>Using GitHub</h3>
<p>Clone the repository:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="git clone https://github.com/ProgrammerKR/HashX.git"><pre>git clone https://github.com/ProgrammerKR/HashX.git</pre></div>
<p>Navigate to the directory:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="cd HashX"><pre><span class="pl-c1">cd</span> HashX</pre></div>
<h3>Using PyPI (Coming Soon!)</h3>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="pip install hashx"><pre>pip install hashx</pre></div>
<hr>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<h3>Python Example</h3>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-python notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="from hashx import HashX
hasher = HashX()
print(hasher.hash("Hello, World!")) # Example usage"><pre><span class="pl-k">from</span> <span class="pl-s1">hashx</span> <span class="pl-k">import</span> <span class="pl-v">HashX</span>
<span class="pl-s1">hasher</span> <span class="pl-c1">=</span> <span class="pl-en">HashX</span>()
<span class="pl-en">print</span>(<span class="pl-s1">hasher</span>.<span class="pl-c1">hash</span>(<span class="pl-s">"Hello, World!"</span>)) <span class="pl-c"># Example usage</span></pre></div>

<h2>How It Works</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Initialization</strong>: Hash state consists of 8 unique parts, seeded for strong uniqueness.</li>
<li><strong>Chunk Processing</strong>: Data is split into 64-bit blocks, processed in parallel using multiprocessing.</li>
<li><strong>Bitwise Mixing & Rotation</strong>: Advanced scrambling ensures strong randomness and security.</li>
<li><strong>Keyed Processing</strong>: Optional secure key integration for HMAC-style authentication.</li>
<li><strong>Finalization Rounds</strong>: Enhanced diffusion eliminates weak patterns.</li>
<li><strong>Output Generation</strong>: 512-bit hexadecimal hash is returned.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Benchmarking (Coming Soon!)</h2>
<p>HashX is being tested against SHA-256, SHA-512, BLAKE3, xxHash, and MurmurHash3 for speed and efficiency.</p>
<hr>
<h2>Future Plans</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>C and Rust Implementation</strong> for ultra-fast performance.</li>
<li><strong>GPU Acceleration</strong> using CUDA/OpenCL.</li>
<li><strong>Cryptographic Security Mode</strong> for password hashing and HMAC support.</li>
</ul>
