  2. Public key fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_fingerprint

    However, fingerprints based on SHA-256 and other hash functions with long output lengths are more likely to be truncated than (relatively short) MD5 or SHA-1 fingerprints. In situations where fingerprint length must be minimized at all costs, fingerprint security can be boosted by increasing the cost of calculating the fingerprint.

  3. Fingerprint (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    To serve its intended purposes, a fingerprinting algorithm must be able to capture the identity of a file with virtual certainty. In other words, the probability of a collision — two files yielding the same fingerprint — must be negligible, compared to the probability of other unavoidable causes of fatal errors (such as the system being destroyed by war or by a meteorite): say, 10 −20 or ...

  4. Secure Hash Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Hash_Algorithms

    SHA-2: A family of two similar hash functions, with different block sizes, known as SHA-256 and SHA-512. They differ in the word size; SHA-256 uses 32-bit words where SHA-512 uses 64-bit words. There are also truncated versions of each standard, known as SHA-224, SHA-384, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256. These were also designed by the NSA.

    The HPKP policy specifies hashes of the subject public key info of one of the certificates in the website's authentic X.509 public key certificate chain (and at least one backup key) in pin-sha256 directives, and a period of time during which the user agent shall enforce public key pinning in max-age directive, optional includeSubDomains ...

  7. Fingerprint scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint_scanner

    The measure of the fingerprint image quality is in dots per inch (DPI). [8] Optical scanners take a visual image of the fingerprint using a digital camera. Capacitive or CMOS scanners use capacitors and thus electric current to form an image of the fingerprint. This type of scanner tends to excel in terms of precision.

  8. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    SHA-2 basically consists of two hash algorithms: SHA-256 and SHA-512. SHA-224 is a variant of SHA-256 with different starting values and truncated output. SHA-384 and the lesser-known SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256 are all variants of SHA-512. SHA-512 is more secure than SHA-256 and is commonly faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit machines such as AMD64.

    A browser fingerprint is information collected specifically by interaction with the web browser of the device. [ 1 ] : 1 Device fingerprints can be used to fully or partially identify individual devices even when persistent cookies (and zombie cookies ) cannot be read or stored in the browser, the client IP address is hidden, or one switches to ...
