Bitcoin offers an irreversible digital property function that prior to its invention simply did not exist. Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function ...

Abstract: Chaotic maps can be used in constructing hash function because of their properties, such as parameter-sensitivity and random-similarity. Many algorithms have been proposed for chaos-based ...

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 component in ...

The vulnerability in the SHA-1 one-way hash function, which recently rocked the cryptographic world, is not seen as a threat to a new generation of one-time password products based on the encryption ...

Abstract: Crypto-currencies (bitcoin et al) have caught the attention of Governments, enforcement agencies, geeks and the general public. This document provides a simple introduction to ...
