The last 128 bits of what gets hashed are reserved for the message length value. This implies that even if the original message were by chance to be an exact multiple of 1024, you’d still need to append …

For decades, hashing has been one of the most effective tools commonly used to compress data for fast access and analysis, as well as information integrity verification.

In this paper [11], authors have evaluated the security of passwords hashed using different hash functions with and without salt and pepper. The results showed that salt and pepper significantly …

The log file is used to record all changes to the volume (a technique borrowed from database management) to ensure recoverability after crashes.

Hashed values (integers) using the same hash function Key identifier = SHA-1(key) Node identifier = SHA-1(IP address) How does Chord partition data? i.e., map key IDs to node IDs Why hash key and …

We propose a simple method for improving the security of hashed passwords: the maintenance of additional “honey-words”(false passwords) associated with each user’s account.

The purpose of this document is to describe a verification exercise that consists on performing the security proof of the ElGamal encryption scheme in its hashed version.
