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.

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.

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

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.

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 ...

In many network communications it is crucial to be able to authenticate both the contents and the origin of a message. Digital signatures based on public key schemas are used for such authentication.

The essential metric for bitcoin network security reached more than 65 trillion hashes per second on Wednesday this week.

IOTA, a $2 billion cryptocurrency that supports Internet of things (IoT) transactions, was shown to have “serious weaknesses” according to a report recently released by researchers at MIT and Boston ...
