  2. Hash collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_collision

    John Smith and Sandra Dee share the same hash value of 02, causing a hash collision. In computer science, a hash collision or hash clash [1] is when two distinct pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value. The hash value in this case is derived from a hash function which takes a data input and returns a fixed length of bits. [2]

  3. PhotoDNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoDNA

    The hashing method initially relied on converting images into a black-and-white format, dividing them into squares, and quantifying the shading of the squares, [5] did not employ facial recognition technology, nor could it identify a person or object in the image.

  4. Perceptual hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing

    Perceptual hashing is the use of a fingerprinting algorithm that produces a snippet, hash, or fingerprint of various forms of multimedia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A perceptual hash is a type of locality-sensitive hash , which is analogous if features of the multimedia are similar.

  5. Preimage attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preimage_attack

    By definition, an ideal hash function is such that the fastest way to compute a first or second preimage is through a brute-force attack. For an n-bit hash, this attack has a time complexity 2 n, which is considered too high for a typical output size of n = 128 bits. If such complexity is the best that can be achieved by an adversary, then the ...

  6. Foreground detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreground_detection

    All detection techniques are based on modelling the background of the image, i.e. set the background and detect which changes occur. Defining the background can be very difficult when it contains shapes, shadows, and moving objects. In defining the background, it is assumed that the stationary objects could vary in color and intensity over time.

  7. Locality-sensitive hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality-sensitive_hashing

    In computer science, locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a fuzzy hashing technique that hashes similar input items into the same "buckets" with high probability. [1] ( The number of buckets is much smaller than the universe of possible input items.) [1] Since similar items end up in the same buckets, this technique can be used for data clustering and nearest neighbor search.

  8. Chord (peer-to-peer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(peer-to-peer)

    Nodes and keys are assigned an -bit identifier using consistent hashing.The SHA-1 algorithm is the base hashing function for consistent hashing. Consistent hashing is integral to the robustness and performance of Chord because both keys and nodes (in fact, their IP addresses) are uniformly distributed in the same identifier space with a negligible possibility of collision.

  9. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    The salt and hash are then stored in the database. To later test if a password a user enters is correct, the same process can be performed on it (appending that user's salt to the password and calculating the resultant hash): if the result does not match the stored hash, it could not have been the correct password that was entered.
