Hash functions are a one-way mathematical problem. If a person has the resulting hash, it is impossible to convert it back to the original data. In this episode of “Bitcoin, Explained,” hosts Aaron ...

In the realm of computer science, it’s hard to go too far without encountering hashing or hash functions. The concept appears throughout security, from encryption to password storage to crypto, and ...

Hash functions are cryptography’s most widely used primitives, in that they are a fundamental building block used for a wide variety of constructions. The recent attacks of Joux, Wang, and others ...

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...
