+PEP 456: Secure and Interchangeable Hash Algorithm
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+:pep:`456` follows up on earlier security fix work done on Python's hash
+algorithm to address certain DOS attacks to which public facing APIs backed by
+dictionary lookups may be subject.  (See :issue:`14621` for the start of the
+current round of improvements.)  The PEP unifies CPython's hash code to make it
+easier for a packager to substitute a different hash algorithm, and switches
+Python's default implementation to a SipHash implementation on platforms that
+have a 64 bit data type.  Any performance differences in comparison with the
+older FNV algorithm are trivial.
+
+The PEP adds additional fields to the :func:`sys.hash_info` struct sequence to
+describe the hash algorithm in use by the currently executing binary.  Otherwise,
+the PEP does not alter any existing CPython APIs.
