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.

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.

The Proof of Work algorithm is not just a technical aspect of Bitcoin; it's a testament to the length's humanity will go to ensure trust in a trustless environment.

Because hashing algorithms works in one direction, the only way to obtain the corresponding plaintext is to guess, a process that can require large amounts of time and computational resources. The ...

SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be vulnerable to theoretical attacks since 2005.

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

The flaw affects the hashing algorithm, called NeuralHash, which allows Apple to check for exact matches of known child-abuse imagery without possessing any of the images or gleaning any ...
