Hashing transforms data into a fixed-length cryptographic fingerprint that ensures integrity and authenticity. Every block in a blockchain contains its own hash and the previous block’s hash, forming ...

Vitalik Buterin has called on researchers to join the Poseidon cryptographic analysis program as Ethereum explores the potential switch to the Poseidon hash function to enhance its zk-proof ...

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 ...

Highly portable C system library: threads and synchronization primitives, sockets (TCP, UDP, SCTP), IPv4 and IPv6, IPC, hash functions (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, GOST ...

Abstract: Hash functions are widely used in the network field to provide support for load balancing, identity authentication, etc. Since the security problems of traditional hash functions continue to ...

Abstract: Hash tables are common lookup data structures. A key element of such data structure is a hash function because it greatly affects its latency. A badly designed hash function may slow down ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

Cryptographic hash functions compute a fixed length string, the message digest. Even a small change in the input data should produce a large change in the digest, and it is 'very difficult' to create ...

Many applications in Multilingual and Multimodal Information Access involve searching large databases of high dimensional data objects with multiple (conditionally independent) views. In this work we ...
