A hash is a mathematical function that maps data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size value that is encrypted.

Cryptographic hash functions are mathematical functions that are often used with cryptocurrency. Find out in this guide how they work and what their role is.

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

In the realm of computer science, it’s hard to go too far without encountering hashing or hash functions. The concept appears throughout security, from encryption to password storage to crypt… ...

Over a quarter of all the major content management systems (CMSs) use the old and outdated MD5 hashing scheme as the default for securing and storing user passwords.

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature.

A new Solana improvement proposal is looking to scalability issues stemming from massive numbers of users by introducing a lattice-based hashing function that only updates the network’s state ...
