The coinventor of “bcrypt” is reflecting on the ubiquitous function’s 25 years and channeling cybersecurity’s core themes into electronic dance music.

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

Audio Hashing and Speech Retrieval Algorithms Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Audio Hashing and Speech Retrieval Algorithms.

Most of the major web browsers will end support for the SHA-1 hashing algorithm by February of next year because the algorithm is becoming outdated.

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.

To prevent pre-computation, hashing schemes now use a trick called "salting," adding random data to a password before hashing it and then storing that "salt" value along with the hash.
