A hash is a unique string of characters generated by a mathematical function, used to represent data and ensure its integrity in cryptography and blockchain technology.

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

America's Next Top Hash Function Begins The biggest cryptography competition in years has kicked off, with nothing less than the security of the internet at stake.

Cryptographic hash functions have many applications in information security and are commonly used to verify data authenticity.

NIST’s goal is that SHA-3 provide increased security and offer greater efficiency for the applications using cryptographic hash algorithms. FIPS standards are required for use in federal ...

It turns out the fatally weak cryptographic hash function, along with its only slightly stronger SHA1 cousin, are still widely used in the transport layer security protocol that underpins HTTPS.

Their integration into diverse applications—from network security to big data processing—has catalysed innovative approaches in managing the immense data streams prevalent in modern computing ...

IOTA created its own cryptographic hash function, something cryptographers claim is not a good idea.

The essential metric for bitcoin network security reached more than 65 trillion hashes per second on Wednesday this week.
