A hash is a unique string of characters generated by a mathematical function, used to represent data and ensure its integrity in cryptography and blockchain technology.

Cryptographic hash functions have many applications in information security and are commonly used to verify data authenticity.

IOTA created its own cryptographic hash function, something cryptographers claim is not a good idea.

Its cryptographic hash function works around the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a military-level algorithm for extreme security, making CryptoNight a mining algorithm highly focused on security.

Among other desirable properties of hash functions, an interesting one is that it should be collision-resistant, that is it should be difficult to find two messages with the same hash value.

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

NIST’s goal is that SHA-3 provide increased security and offer greater efficiency for the applications using cryptographic hash algorithms. FIPS standards are required for use in federal ...

America's Next Top Hash Function Begins The biggest cryptography competition in years has kicked off, with nothing less than the security of the internet at stake.
