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.

A series of attacks on MD5, a hashing algorithm that's much more collision-prone than SHA1, provides a glimpse at the dire results of collision attacks. The Flame espionage malware, ...

Algorithm promises to greatly streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem. Research could boost the efficiency even of huge networks like the Internet. Finding the most efficient way to ...

SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) was designed by the NSA in 1995 and was a recommended NIST standard. The function has been known to be insecure against well-funded attackers with access to cloud ...

Beijing, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today ...

Five 4U servers equipped with 25 AMD Radeon-powered GPUs linked together using an Infiniband switched fabric link can crunch through up to 348 billion password hashes per second.

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.

Unlike encryption algorithms that can be used to encrypt and then decrypt data, hash algorithms are one-way tools: they turn a file of any size into a fixed-length string of bits, called a hash.
