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

The hashing example above illustrates the use of a cryptographic algorithm to protect data, but it also highlights the fact that anything in the program can become a security issue. The use of ...

Java’s serialization algorithm By now, you should have a pretty good knowledge of how to serialize an object. But how does the process work under the hood?

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing ...

Apple says collision in child-abuse hashing system is not a concern Researchers produced a collision in Apple’s new algorithm, but the company says the finding was expected ...

Blockchain technology relies on mining algorithms, such as CryptoNight, to regulate cryptocurrency projects. Find out here what CryptoNight is and how it works.

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 ...
