America's Next Top Hash Function Begins The biggest cryptography competition in years has kicked off, with nothing less than the security of the internet at stake.

To see the difference between those hashing schemes, consider how password hash-cracking works: Hackers can't reverse a hashed password created with a function like SHA1.

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

Their integration into diverse applications—from network security to big data processing—has catalysed innovative approaches in managing the immense data streams prevalent in modern computing ...

IOTA created its own cryptographic hash function, something cryptographers claim is not a good idea.

The essential metric for bitcoin network security reached more than 65 trillion hashes per second on Wednesday this week.
