Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the effects of violating the conditions of hash function uniformity and/or independence on the false positive probability of Bloom Filters (BF). To this end, we ...

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 crypto, and ...

Cryptographic hash functions secure data by providing a unique fixed-length output for each input. These functions are essential in blockchain for data integrity and secure transactions. Understanding ...

Computing practitioners encounter hash functions almost every day, although they may not necessarily be the center of attention. When you install software packages or updates, the authenticity of a ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known for less ...

Solana developers proposed a new hashing system that would change how the Solana network verifies and traces user accounts in a bid to fix scalability issues stemming from mass usage. In a Jan. 6 ...

As a person with a chronic illness, I'm no stranger to bloodwork. I used to pore over my lab results, googling the various meanings, and trying not to panic when a test fell out of range. Function ...

Hashing is a cryptographic process that allows converting any type of data into a unique fixed-size numeric value called “hash”. Hashes are generated using hashing algorithms that are both ...

During a recent interview with Chrissy Teigen, Vice President Kamala Harris said, “I’m going to confess, I love Venn diagrams. If you’re ever in a moment of conflict, pull out a Venn diagram, they’ll ...
