But to put this event in the proper perspective, the finding of a hash collision does not mean the end of the world if your current security products use the SHA-1 hashing algorithm.

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 ...

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

A hash is a mathematical function that maps data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size value that is encrypted.

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

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.

Java programmers use data structures to store and organize data, and we use algorithms to manipulate the data in those structures. The more you understand about data structures and algorithms, and ...
