Parallel MAC vs doubled rounds for SipHash, KMAC and others
SipHash 4-8 is documented by the authors as being about half the speed of SipHash 2-4 and is obviously the more conservative option.
I was wondering from a security perspective how this would compare ...

Same 64-bit preimage resistance security for SipHash and SHA-512/64?
If I have to chose a 64 bit preimage resistant hash function; will there be any difference in security between
SipHash and
SHA-512/64 (SHA-512 truncated to 64 bits)?
How long will it take an ...

Does SipHash have 64 bit (second) preimage security?
I was not able to find an explicit statement about the first and second preimage security of SipHash-2-4 or SipHash-4-8 anywhere.
I think it should be 64 bits, but I'd feel safer if somebody who has ...

A fast non-cryptographic hash function that is "strong enough"?
I'm designing a simple one-time-password mechanism for authentication against a possibly-insecure server - i.e. I don't want to use symmetric shared secrets.
The first idea that came into mind was ...
