A hash is a unique string of characters generated by a mathematical function, used to represent data and ensure its integrity in cryptography and blockchain technology.

SHA-3 Secure Hash Algorithm: New Face Of CryptoSHA-3 Secure Hash Algorithm: New Face Of Crypto Secure hash algorithm beats 63 contenders to become NIST's next-generation cryptographic standard.

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.

Rainbow tables are password cracking tools with origins dating back to research from the early 1980s. Here's how they work and why they haven't stood the test of time.

Hash algorithms are used by government agencies and businesses worldwide to make online transactions secure, store passwords and verify digital files and signatures.

Most of the major web browsers will end support for the SHA-1 hashing algorithm by February of next year because the algorithm is becoming outdated.

But competition entrants face another major challenge. While encryption algorithms rely on keeping a “key” secret from attackers, cryptographic hash functions can have no such secrets.

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature.

Cracking is the process of passing large numbers of guesses, often measured in the hundreds of millions, through the algorithm and comparing each hash against the hash found in the breached database.
