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.

The MD5 password hash algorithm is "no longer considered safe" by the original software developer, a day after the leak of more than 6.4 million hashed LinkedIn passwords.

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

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

The OpenSSH team cited security concerns with the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, currently considered insecure.

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to ...

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.
