In cryptography, scrypt (pronounced "ess crypt" [1]) is a password-based key derivation function created by Colin Percival in March 2009, originally for the Tarsnap online backup service. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The algorithm was specifically designed to make it costly to perform large-scale custom hardware attacks by requiring large amounts of memory.
Con Kolivas is a Greek-Australian anaesthetist. [1] He has worked as a computer programmer on the Linux kernel and on the development of the cryptographic currency mining software CGMiner. [2]
The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of cryptographic hash functions. See the individual functions' articles for further information.
Coinye, formerly Coinye West, is [1] a scrypt-based cryptocurrency. Cease and desist letters were issued against it for its use of the American hip hop artist Kanye West, as its mascot despite West having no affiliation with the project.
Examples of dMHFs are scrypt and Argon2d, while examples of iMHFs are Argon2i and catena. Many of these MHFs have been designed to be used as password hashing functions because of their memory hardness. A notable problem with dMHFs is that they are prone to side-channel attacks such as cache timing. This has resulted in a preference for using ...
Hedera Hashgraph is a public distributed ledger based on the Hashgraph algorithm. [9] [10] Hedera Hashgraph is developed by a company of the same name, Hedera, based in Dallas, Texas. [9]
The most widely used proof-of-work schemes are based on SHA-256 and scrypt. [19] Some other hashing algorithms that are used for proof-of-work include CryptoNote, Blake, SHA-3, and X11. Another method is called the proof-of-stake scheme. Proof-of-stake is a method of securing a cryptocurrency network and achieving distributed consensus through ...
