In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

All of the above leads us back to consistent hashing and how it makes use of modulo mathematics as part of a larger algorithm intended to first avoid "hot spots" or heavy loads on origin servers and ...

Solana developers proposed a new hashing system that would change how the Solana network verifies and traces user accounts in a bid to fix scalability issues stemming from mass usage. In a Jan. 6 ...

It might not sound like the most important milestone in cybersecurity, but today Google cracked an old cryptographic algorithm called SHA-1. It's significant because SHA-1 has been in use across the ...

Your hardware is ready. Now, let's load up some software and get cracking. In Part I of this series, I explained how password cracking works in general terms and ...
