Not every computing device is a high-powered process and needs the security of cryptography hashes. In fact, there are more processors that run with 8-bit or 16-bit registers than are with powerful 32-bit or 64-bit registers. So we sometimes need methods that process with 8-bit registers, and so in 1990, Peter K. Pearson published a classic paper [here]:
