A hash rate is the measure of the computational power in a proof-of-work cryptocurrency miner, pool, or network. High hash rates equal better odds of winning.

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

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 coinventor of “bcrypt” is reflecting on the ubiquitous function’s 25 years and channeling cybersecurity’s core themes into electronic dance music.

Despite being something of a cryptography veteran, SHA-1 hash algorithm faces an uncertain future as OpenSSH and Libssh choose to block it.

The private key secures transactions, ensuring only its holder can authorize transfers. • SHA-256 Hashing: This one-way hashing algorithm secures blockchain integrity and prevents tampering.
