Mining algorithms are the backbone of blockchain-based networks like Bitcoin and other protocols. In blockchain technology, mining algorithms are necessary for transaction verification and network ...

Hashing refers to the process of using an algorithm to transform data of any size into a unique fixed sized output (e.g., combination of numbers). To put it in layman’s term, some piece of information ...

A rainbow table is a large, precomputed table designed to cache the output of cryptographic hash functions to decrypt hashed passwords into plaintext. Rainbow tables were invented by IT expert ...

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 the ...

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. This shows that the algorithm ...
