Bloom filters are an essential class of probabilistic data structures designed for rapid set membership testing while minimising memory usage. By utilising multiple hash functions, these ...

To prevent pre-computation, hashing schemes now use a trick called "salting," adding random data to a password before hashing it and then storing that "salt" value along with the hash.

You have now created a function, hash (), which will calculate and print out the hash value for a given string using the MD5 hashing algorithm. To run it, put a string in between the parentheses ...

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death's door. Now it's officially dead, thanks to the submission of the first known ...

The SHA-256 cryptographic hashing function, which converts any input data into a 256-bit string (the hash), is one of the technologies using which Bitcoin measures its hash rate.

The coinventor of “bcrypt” is reflecting on the ubiquitous function’s 25 years and channeling cybersecurity’s core themes into electronic dance music.
