In the realm of computer science, it’s hard to go too far without encountering hashing or hash functions. The concept appears throughout security, from encryption to password storage to crypt… ...

What Are Salted Passwords and Password Hashing? Since hashing can be defeated, there are other ways agencies can use the technique to secure data. This is known as “salting” the hash. “Salting is the ...

A new Solana improvement proposal is looking to scalability issues stemming from massive numbers of users by introducing a lattice-based hashing function that only updates the network’s state ...

Over a quarter of all the major content management systems (CMSs) use the old and outdated MD5 hashing scheme as the default for securing and storing user passwords.

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.

For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death's door. Now it's officially dead, thanks to the submission of the first known ...
