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

Encryption of digital certificates and block chains are made up of ' hash functions ' that calculate a hash value that is a completely different value from the input value. Engineer Greg Walker ...

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 ...

Yes, “design flaw” in 1Password is a problem, just not for end users It may very well be time for a new and improved hashing function.

Developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States, SHA-2 is one of the cryptographic hash functions applied to digital signatures and blockchains. Domingo Martin has published a ...

Records are bundled together into blocks and added to the chain one after another. The basic parts: Hash codes keep records safe. A hash code is created by a math function that takes digital ...

Google and Amsterdam-based researchers show a widely-used encryption algorithm is broken. Here's what that means and why it matters to the average consumer.
