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.

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

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 ...
