hmm, "jumble" describes something that is scrambled
or not in order, such as the 64-bit hash produced. It
sounds like the final product.
Fingerprinting on the other hand [1] sounds more of the process
to add all the pieces that will eventually be hashed ( or jumbled ).
hash and jumble are synonyms according to Merriam-Webster [2]
