  2. Number sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign

    The symbol # is known variously in English-speaking regions as the number sign, [1] hash, [2] or pound sign. [3] The symbol has historically been used for a wide range of purposes including the designation of an ordinal number and as a ligatured abbreviation for pounds avoirdupois – having been derived from the now-rare ℔.

  3. Hash key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_key

    Hash key may refer to: Number sign , also known as the number, pound or hash key, a key on a telephone keypad For its use in data structure, database and cryptographic applications, see hash function or unique key

  4. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    What is needed is a hash function H(z,n) (where z is the key being hashed and n is the number of allowed hash values) such that H(z,n + 1) = H(z,n) with probability close to n/(n + 1). Linear hashing and spiral hashing are examples of dynamic hash functions that execute in constant time but relax the property of uniformity to achieve the ...

  6. Hash-based cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_cryptography

    Hash-based signature schemes use one-time signature schemes as their building block. A given one-time signing key can only be used to sign a single message securely. Indeed, signatures reveal part of the signing key. The security of (hash-based) one-time signature schemes relies exclusively on the security of an underlying hash function.

  7. Lamport signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_signature

    Each Lamport key can only be used to sign a single message. However, many Lamport signatures can be handled by one Merkle hash tree, thus a single hash tree key can be used for many messages, making this a fairly efficient digital signature scheme. The Lamport signature cryptosystem was invented in 1979 and named after its inventor, Leslie Lamport.

  8. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    The Secure Hash Algorithms are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), including: SHA-0: A retronym applied to the original version of the 160-bit hash function published in 1993 under the name "SHA". It was ...

  9. Hash chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_chain

    A hash chain is the successive application of a cryptographic hash function to a piece of data. In computer security , a hash chain is a method used to produce many one-time keys from a single key or password .
