Having multiple ink blots to improve entropy #8
Comments
Other ways of improvements include having polygons like http://yuvadm.github.io/polyhash/ or colored checkered background like https://github.com/solosodium/colorful-hash ? |
Funny you should mention that: I actually created hashsplat a couple months ago, which works exactly like you're describing - it takes the bits of a SHA256 sum (or any other 64-byte hash) and overlays them as three variable-color hashblots (the first 60 bytes defining the blot paths, then the remaining 4 defining the colors). That page currently just shows what hashsplats would look like using random data, because I made it to test the overall aesthetic of the algorithm's output for 256-bit hashes in general - I know what I want the actual SHA2 UI to look like, I just haven't gotten around to throwing it in yet (I think I got sidetracked somewhere around the point where I was looking at what an appropriate factorization for an ES module in 2018 should be). Once I hook up the demo plumbing on hashsplat.com, I've been planning on publishing a writeup about all this crypto-adjacent stuff I've been working on (Hashblot, Hashsplat, the Gross Simplification algorithm from surpass, NilPass, Alphabinary, and Mixalog, an idea I've yet to write about anywhere, even in barfspace) for a while, and I think what I really need to get that writeup out the door is a producer, if anybody might be interested in taking that on. |
@stuartpb what about containing all 256/384/512 bits of SHA2/BLAKE(2)/SHA3 hashes? Or even 8~1024 bit hashes for Skein or KangarooTwelve or SHAKE or BLAKE(2)-XOF?

Also adding https://github.com/ea7ababe/identicon and https://github.com/dakridge/identicon to the mix would be a good idea for circular variations |
@stuartpb I made a bigger list of hash-based imaging, if you can comment on each of them that would be great

Is it possible to split the hash into multiple parts and distribute it to different inkblots (possibly a 2x4 or 3x3 grid for 8 blots)?
Also is it possible to overlay one inkblot on top of another with different colored layers?
