In this episode of “Bitcoin, Explained,” hosts Aaron van Wirdum and Sjors Provoost go back to Bitcoin basics. They explain one of the most fundamental building blocks in all of Bitcoin: hash functions ...

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...

If you want to read up on hash tables, may I recommend Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest's Introduction to Algorithms. Knuth also has an detailed analysis of them in section 6.4 in Vol III of his Art of ...

When you access Sha256 Algorithm Explained, it looks like this. Enter your favorite character string in the input field at the top. This time, I entered the URL of ...

Hash functions are cryptography’s most widely used primitives, in that they are a fundamental building block used for a wide variety of constructions. The recent attacks of Joux, Wang, and others ...

RSA and hashing are two cryptographic functions that are widely used together. RSA provides the encryption using a public and private key, and hashing creates a binary fingerprint. For example, in a ...

The number of cryptographic hashes per second (H/s) a computer executes for blockchain mining such as Bitcoin. A hash rate may refer to computations in a single GPU in one computer, a crypto mining ...
