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 ...

While passwords remain the first line of defense for protecting user accounts against unauthorized access, the methods for creating strong passwords and protecting them are continually evolving. For ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
