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 ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

The quest to make biometric data private and secure has led to the development of biometric hashing. Hashing is a one-way process in which an algorithm called a cryptographic hash function takes an ...

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 ...

It is a very fast (100 times faster) and simple tool for sorting passwords by their hashes. It supports several hashing algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512. The program can work with both ...

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 ...

Abstract: Similarity Hashing (SimHash) is a widely used locality-sensitive hashing algorithm employed in the detection of similarity, in large-scale data processing, including plagiarism detection and ...
