Abstract: Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) is a widely used cryptographic algorithm that combines a hash function with a secret key to ensure the integrity and authenticity of data. The ...

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 ...

As we have seen in previous videos, it happens sometimes that two keys yield the same hash value for a given table size. This is called a “hash collision” or just “collision.” Why do hash collisions ...
