Five 4U servers equipped with 25 AMD Radeon-powered GPUs linked together using an Infiniband switched fabric link can crunch through up to 348 billion password hashes per second.

For Bitcoin specifically, the hashing algorithm difficulty adjusts up and down depending on how high the hash rate is. This is because creation of new Bitcoin was designed to be controlled over time.

At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif. last month, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren't cause ...

This shows that the algorithm’s use for security-sensitive functions should be discontinued as soon as possible. SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be ...

SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) was designed by the NSA in 1995 and was a recommended NIST standard. The function has been known to be insecure against well-funded attackers with access to cloud ...

NIST has opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short "fingerprint" for use in digital signatures, message ...

This shows that the algorithm’s use for security-sensitive functions should be discontinued as soon as possible. SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be ...

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired Topics Spotlight: New Thinking about Cloud Computing ...

NIST recommended IT professionals replace Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) with more secure algorithms from the SHA-2 and SHA-3 groups to protect electronic information by Dec. 31, 2030. SHA-1 became ...
