The 2025 paper claims that even without reordering elements over time, it is possible to construct a hash table using Krapivin's method that achieves far better probe complexity – the average ...

If a weakness is found in a hash function that allows for two files to have the same digest, the function is considered cryptographically broken, because digital fingerprints generated with it can ...

For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death's door.

Google announced plans to phase out SHA-I use in Chrome back in 2014 and has been calling on others and the industry to move to SHA-256 and other cryptographic hash functions.
