Recent hash table development raises questions about an optimal solution. Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries.

A hash is kinda trash. Or, more precisely, not only will hashing data not anonymize it, but regulators, including the Federal Trade Commission, consider hashed identifiers to be personal information.

With robust hashing, content can be taken down as soon as it is identified. “It can be fully automated. The only manual step would be if a service provider wants to check if posted material is by ...

PHP got a whole lot more secure this week with the release of the 7.2 branch, a version that improves and modernizes the programming language's support for cryptography and password hashing algorithms ...

Cloud computing and crytpocurrency mining may have seemed like an odd combination back in the days of GPU, and later FPGA, bitcoin mining. The rise of ASICs for SHA-256 transaction processing on the ...

NIST is planning a competition to develop one or more cryptographic 'hash' algorithms to augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard (Federal Information Processing Standard 180-2). 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 ...
