Generating random functions (as opposed to random numbers)

And do you know if hashes are uniformly distributed in the whole UInt range?

It seems that, ideally, yes.

But “Note that this criterion only requires the value to be uniformly distributed , not random in any sense. A good randomizing function is (barring computational efficiency concerns) generally a good choice as a hash function, but the converse need not be true.”
