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 hash rate measures the computational power of the Bitcoin blockchain network and other PoW cryptocurrencies, determined by the number of guesses made per second. The significance of hash rate in a ...
What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...
Your browser does not support the audio element. What is so special about it? Another cryptographic algorithm with a fancy name added to your list of things to ...
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 ...
Quantum computing is on the horizon, promising to solve complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers. But for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which rely on today’s cryptographic ...
Abstract: This research proposes a novel algorithm for password hashing, called the Sandwich Hashing algorithm, designed to protect credential information from channel interception as well as ...
