title: K-independent hashing
text: In computer science, a family of hash functions is said to be k-independent, k-wise independent or k-universal if selecting a function at random from the family guarantees that the hash codes of any designated k keys are independent random variables. Such families allow good average case performance in randomized algorithms or data structures, even if the input data is chosen by an adversary. The trade-offs between the degree of independence and the efficiency of evaluating the hash function are
