Its cryptographic hash function works around the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a military-level algorithm for extreme security, making CryptoNight a mining algorithm highly focused on security.

IOTA created its own cryptographic hash function, something cryptographers claim is not a good idea.

Among other desirable properties of hash functions, an interesting one is that it should be collision-resistant, that is it should be difficult to find two messages with the same hash value.

America's Next Top Hash Function Begins The biggest cryptography competition in years has kicked off, with nothing less than the security of the internet at stake.

Their integration into diverse applications—from network security to big data processing—has catalysed innovative approaches in managing the immense data streams prevalent in modern computing ...

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

The essential metric for bitcoin network security reached more than 65 trillion hashes per second on Wednesday this week.

For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death's door. Now it's officially dead, thanks to the submission of the first known ...
