Roughly 700,000 federal employees are working without pay during the government shutdown, which recently became the longest in U.S. history. The shutdown has suspended the work of at least 600,000 ...

Abstract: In modern data centers and enterprise networks, software switches have become critical components for achieving flexible and efficient network management. Due to resource constraints in ...

Cryptographic hash functions secure data by providing a unique fixed-length output for each input. These functions are essential in blockchain for data integrity and secure transactions. Understanding ...

While passwords remain the first line of defense for protecting user accounts against unauthorized access, the methods for creating strong passwords and protecting them are continually evolving. For ...

Computing practitioners encounter hash functions almost every day, although they may not necessarily be the center of attention. When you install software packages or updates, the authenticity of a ...

The idea behind separate chaining is simple: instead of holding just one object, allow elements in our hash table to hold more than one object. Here we modify our hash table class to implement ...

Cryptography, a cornerstone of modern information security, encompasses a vast array of techniques and tools designed to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and tampering. Within this ...

Hashing is a cryptographic process that allows converting any type of data into a unique fixed-size numeric value called “hash”. Hashes are generated using hashing algorithms that are both ...

Abstract: Steganography hides a secret message inside another medium (cover-image) while maintaining imperceptibility and/or robustness/embedding capacity, making it a suitable candidate for keeping ...
