An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental ...

Quantum computing will take time to arrive but research is investigating ways to address the technology in Bitcoin.

This will also be an introduction to the role of randomization in algorithm design. Next, we will study hashtables: a highly useful data structure that allows for efficient search and retrieval from ...

A breakdown of what type of risks quantum computing poses to Bitcoin, and how worried users of the network should be.

eSi-SHA3 is area-efficient hardware accelerator core for the SHA3 and SHAKE cryptographic hashing algorithms compliant with the NIST FIPS 202 standard. SHA3, is a cryptographic hash function, utilizes ...
