JP Aumasson [here] and Daniel J Bernstein (djb) [here]

JP + djb = SipHash

Two of the best cybersecurity researchers around are: JP Aumasson [here]; and Daniel J Bernstein (djb) [here]. JP is famous for co-creating the fast hashing methods of BLAKE2 [here] and BLAKE3, and in the co-creation of the GPU-busting hashing method of Argon 2. With djb, we see a long line of innovation, including in creating ChaCha20, Salsa20 and Curve 25519.
