Examples of Using HASH in a Sentence

• Differential cryptanalysis is a general form of cryptanalysis applicable primarily to block ciphers, but also to stream ciphers and cryptographic hash functions.
• A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values, though there are some hash functions that support variable-length output.
• In computing, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps keys to values.
• In the United States, dried flowers or concentrates are more popular, and hash has seen a relative decrease in popularity following changes in laws that have indirectly allowed for the development and increased availability of cannabis extracts that are more potent than traditional hashish, although regional differences in product preferences exist.
• In cryptography, an HMAC (sometimes expanded as either keyed-hash message authentication code or hash-based message authentication code) is a specific type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key.
• MD5 was designed by Ronald Rivest in 1991 to replace an earlier hash function MD4, and was specified in 1992 as RFC 1321.
• RIPEMD (RIPE Message Digest) is a family of cryptographic hash functions developed in 1992 (the original RIPEMD) and 1996 (other variants).
• In cryptography, SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest – typically rendered as 40 hexadecimal digits.
• In computational complexity theory, the complexity class #P (pronounced "sharp P" or, sometimes "number P" or "hash P") is the set of the counting problems associated with the decision problems in the set NP.
• Search algorithms can be made faster or more efficient by specially constructed database structures, such as search trees, hash maps, and database indexes.
• Cyclic redundancy check, a type of hash function used to produce a checksum in order to detect errors in data storage or transmission.
• Although hash algorithms, especially cryptographic hash algorithms, have been created with the intent of being collision resistant, they can still sometimes map different data to the same hash (by virtue of the pigeonhole principle).
• Packages contain metadata, such as the software's name, description of its purpose, version number, vendor, checksum (preferably a cryptographic hash function), and a list of dependencies necessary for the software to run properly.
• When another client connected to G2 finds such a file, it is given the hash values for all networks and can search on the other networks with their respective hash values, which increases the number of sources and the download speed of the file.
• Real-world applications for the birthday problem include a cryptographic attack called the birthday attack, which uses this probabilistic model to reduce the complexity of finding a collision for a hash function, as well as calculating the approximate risk of a hash collision existing within the hashes of a given size of population.
• To look up CD information over the Internet, a client program calculated a hash function from the CD table of contents and used it as a disc ID to query the database.
• Pearson hashing is a non-cryptographic hash function designed for fast execution on processors with 8-bit registers.
• In 1960, Lewisville became the corporate headquarters of Idahoan Foods, a producer of dehydrated potato products such as instant mashed potatoes, potato casserole, and hash browns.
• A distributed hash table (DHT) is a distributed system that provides a lookup service similar to a hash table.
• Among the designs Ferguson has contributed to is the AES finalist block cipher algorithm Twofish as well as the stream cipher Helix and the Skein hash function.
• It is among the most frequently used password testing and breaking programs as it combines a number of password crackers into one package, automatically detects password hash types, and includes a customizable cracker.
• The following shows one way to implement a dispatch table in Perl, using a hash to store references to code (also known as function pointers).
• Common methods for verifying that operating system patches have not been altered include the use of the digital signature of a cryptographic hash, such as a SHA-256 based checksum, or the use of read-only media.
• Then, in descending order of size, each bucket's elements are hashed by a hash function of a sequence of independent fully random hash functions , starting with.
• Racket hash table comprehensions generate Racket hash tables (one implementation of the Racket dictionary type).
