A hash rate is the measure of the computational power in a proof-of-work cryptocurrency miner, pool, or network. High hash rates equal better odds of winning.

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to ...

The OpenSSH team cited security concerns with the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, currently considered insecure.
