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.
Fowler–Noll–Vo (or FNV) is a non-cryptographic hash function created by Glenn Fowler, Landon Curt Noll, and Kiem-Phong Vo.. The basis of the FNV hash algorithm was taken from an idea sent as reviewer comments to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2 committee by Glenn Fowler and Phong Vo in 1991.
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.
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.
Nilsimsa Hash is an anti-spam focused locality-sensitive hashing algorithm. ssdeep is a fuzzy hashing tool based on context-piecewise triggered hashing to compare files. [4] sdhash is a fuzzy hashing tool based on using bloom filters to determine whether one file is contained within another or how similar two files are to each other. [11]
A universal hashing scheme is a randomized algorithm that selects a hash function h among a family of such functions, in such a way that the probability of a collision of any two distinct keys is 1/m, where m is the number of distinct hash values desired—independently of the two keys. Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. [3] [4] They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.
Differential cryptanalysis is a general form of cryptanalysis applicable primarily to block ciphers, but also to stream ciphers and cryptographic hash functions. In the broadest sense, it is the study of how differences in information input can affect the resultant difference at the output.
