Hashing is a good solution, but it’s by no means a perfect way to permanently mask someone’s identity. … There are different hashing algorithms and methods of reversing those algorithms, but I don’t ...

As the federal government comes under attack by increasingly sophisticated threat actors, encrypting data, hashing passwords and salting hashes are becoming more important.

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

Some applications can actually get away without using traditional cryptography. These applications utilize other mechanisms, such as hashing algorithms, in order to provide some assurance about data.

Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

For Bitcoin specifically, the hashing algorithm difficulty adjusts up and down depending on how high the hash rate is. This is because creation of new Bitcoin was designed to be controlled over time.

Despite being something of a cryptography veteran, SHA-1 hash algorithm faces an uncertain future as OpenSSH and Libssh choose to block it.

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to ...
