The backbone of a cryptocurrency is the blockchain, which is a globally distributed ledger formed by linking together individual blocks (files) of transaction data and information through hashing.

The researchers used machine learning to build better hash functions. Hashing is a core operation used in online databases to accelerate data retrieval using hash functions that generate code to ...

Not only will hashing data not anonymize it, but regulators, including the FTC, consider hashed identifiers to be personal information.

As such, the agency recommended against relying on hashing to reduce data sensitivity. "Hashing is just one tool used in persistent user identification, and the FTC has recently called out other ...

Figure 1. Load balancing can be done using traditional hashing. This static hashing scheme has worked well in carrier and enterprise networks and was later borrowed for use in the data center.

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

This episode of Hashing It Out, hosted by Elisha Owusu Akyaw, explored these pressing issues with Nicholas Zaldastani, Chairman and Co-Founder of CESS, a decentralized data storage network. The ...
