As a crypto network picks up more miners, hash rate increases. Hash rate will generally follow the price of a crypto. Hash rate also has some impact on global energy consumption. For a proof-of-work ...

Conceived by the enigmatic figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin represents a monumental technological breakthrough, introducing the world to a decentralized cryptocurrency that operates ...

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

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

The team behind mining software NBMiner claims to have partially cracked Nvidia’s anti-mining limitations. Back in June Nvidia implemented an algorithm called Lite Hash Rate, or LHR, on all graphics ...

Three years ago, Ars declared the SHA1 cryptographic hash algorithm officially dead after researchers performed the world’s first known instance of a fatal exploit known as a "collision" on it. On ...
