Security firm Trail of Bits says combining multiple values into a single hash is easy to get wrong, and those mistakes can enable forgeries. It notes TupleHash addresses the problem but only works with Keccak, while outside SHA-3 developers often roll their own, insecure multihashing. The firm has built SequenceHash, a length-suffixed construction that works with any hash function.
