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

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.

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 the process of exploring the optimization of blockchain hash algorithm based on PRCA, WiMi also considered the privacy protection of blockchain technology.

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...

Password hashing schemes usually involve three things: a password hashing function, iterations, and a salt string. The core parameter of a hashing scheme is the employed hash function.

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

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 ...
