If a blockchain had a heartbeat, it’s the hash rate, miners’ work powers the network, keeping it secure, stable, and running ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew Krapivin, an undergraduate at Rutgers University, encountered a paper that would change his life.

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 ...

This unique turkey hash is a recipe from poet and novelist Crystal Wilkinson’s cookbook, “Praisesong for the Kitchen Gods.” “I make it the way my grandmother did, although it’s not like the ...

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 ...

To promote faster development of quantum algorithms and applications, IBM has just launched the Qiskit Functions Catalog. This new platform allows developers from IBM and other organizations to ...
