nilsimsa - locality-sensitive hash

This is a Go implementation of the nilsimsa algorithm, a locality-sensitive hash for spam detection. It's probably only of interest to software archaeologists.

Usage

The Go library implements the hash.Hash interface. Note that using a locality-sensitive hash in places that expect an ordinary hash function may yield funky results.

Distribution

A package cmeclax that wraps the original C library in Go is included in this repository. The Go wrapper, like the original C library, is licensed under the GNU General Public License. The pure-Go implementation uses the Apache v2 License.
