Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

The algorithms utilize a structure that provides state information across hashing operations, allowing for the hash to be added to in multiple operations, rather than all at once in a single hashing ...

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hashing function designed to produce a fingerprint of a document, making it easy to tell if a document has been modified after the fingerprint was calculated.

Despite being something of a cryptography veteran, SHA-1 hash algorithm faces an uncertain future as OpenSSH and Libssh choose to block it.

Bitcoin employs the SHA-256 hash function, considered one of the most secure hashing methods to date. The Role of the PoW in Bitcoin At its core, Bitcoin operates on a public ledger called the ...

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.

SHA1 algorithm securing e-commerce and software could break by year’s end Researchers warn widely used algorithm should be retired sooner.

Solve the Bitcoin Puzzle by Hashing Bitcoin "miners" combine newly created transactions from wallets and exchanges into a block, and because Bitcoin uses the proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm, miners ...

Researchers have produced a collision in iOS’s built-in hash function, raising new concerns about Apple’s CSAM-scanning system — but Apple says the finding does not threaten the integrity of ...
