In blockchain, a hash algorithm is implemented through a pipeline and key segments are extracted from memory to compute the data hash.

A hash rate is the measure of the computational power in a proof-of-work cryptocurrency miner, pool, or network. High hash rates equal better odds of winning.

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

The MD5 password hash algorithm is "no longer considered safe" by the original software developer, a day after the leak of more than 6.4 million hashed LinkedIn passwords.

SHA1 algorithm securing e-commerce and software could break by year’s end Researchers warn widely used algorithm should be retired sooner.

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to ...
