  2. BLAKE (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)

    BLAKE is a cryptographic hash function based on Daniel J. Bernstein's ChaCha stream cipher, but a permuted copy of the input block, XORed with round constants, is added before each ChaCha round. Like SHA-2 , there are two variants differing in the word size.

  3. Roslyn (compiler) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roslyn_(compiler)

    The code name "Roslyn" was first written by Eric Lippert (a former Microsoft engineer [5]) in a post [6] that he published in 2010 to hire developers for a new project. He first said that the origin of the name was because of Roslyn, Washington, but later in the post he speaks ironically about the "northern exposure" of its office; the city of Roslyn was one of the places where the television ...

  4. Entry point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entry_point

    In most of today's popular programming languages and operating systems, a computer program usually only has a single entry point.. In C, C++, D, Zig, Rust and Kotlin programs this is a function named main; in Java it is a static method named main (although the class must be specified at the invocation time), and in C# it is a static method named Main.

  5. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    The naïve method of swapping each element with another element chosen randomly from all elements is biased. [13] Different permutations will have different probabilities of being generated, for every n > 2 {\displaystyle n>2} , because the number of different permutations, n ! {\displaystyle n!} , does not evenly divide the number of random ...

  6. LZ77 and LZ78 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78

    Note how the algorithm is greedy, and so nothing is added to the table until a unique making token is found. The algorithm is to initialize last matching index = 0 and next available index = 1 and then, for each token of the input stream, the dictionary searched for a match: {last matching index, token}. If a match is found, then last matching ...

  7. List of HTTP header fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields

    In HTTP version 1.x, header fields are transmitted after the request line (in case of a request HTTP message) or the response line (in case of a response HTTP message), which is the first line of a message.

  8. Dictionary attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_attack

    In cryptanalysis and computer security, a dictionary attack is an attack using a restricted subset of a keyspace to defeat a cipher or authentication mechanism by trying to determine its decryption key or passphrase, sometimes trying thousands or millions of likely possibilities [1] often obtained from lists of past security breaches.

  9. Mask (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_(computing)

    In computer science, a mask or bitmask is data that is used for bitwise operations, particularly in a bit field.Using a mask, multiple bits in a byte, nibble, word, etc. can be set either on or off, or inverted from on to off (or vice versa) in a single bitwise operation.
