Mining algorithms are the backbone of blockchain-based networks like Bitcoin and other protocols. In blockchain technology, mining algorithms are necessary for transaction verification and network ...

Bitcoin miners and mining are required for new bitcoins to enter into circulation. Mining is also a critical component of the security of the blockchain ledger.

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

A rainbow table is a large, precomputed table designed to cache the output of cryptographic hash functions to decrypt hashed passwords into plaintext. Rainbow tables were invented by IT expert ...

The team behind mining software NBMiner claims to have partially cracked Nvidia’s anti-mining limitations. Back in June Nvidia implemented an algorithm called Lite Hash Rate, or LHR, on all graphics ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...
