Hashing and Encryption, do you know what these are? Some might have heard the names before and believe they are the same. But that is not the case at all. You see, much of the data that is moving ...

All of the above leads us back to consistent hashing and how it makes use of modulo mathematics as part of a larger algorithm intended to first avoid "hot spots" or heavy loads on origin servers and ...

In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is urging agencies to begin migrating away from the flawed SHA-1 hashing algorithm in favor of stronger algorithms. The National Institute of ...

If you want to keep your business’s data safe, encryption is essential. By encrypting files directly, you ensure that they can’t be opened without a password — protecting the files from hackers and ...
