Computer scientists have developed a compact hash table called Kaarme that reduces genomic dictionary memory by up to five ...

Hash tables are heavily used within the kernel to speed access to objects of interest. Using a hash table will be faster than, say, a linear search through a single list, but there is always value in ...

Many organizations have been replacing the MD5 hash algorithm with the SHA-1 hash function, but can the MD5 hash algorithm still be used securely? MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a cryptographic ...

The traditional way of implementing a hash table is to have an array of linked lists. However, user-space RCU instead uses a split-ordered list, which provides a lock-free RCU-protected resizable hash ...

Engineered algorithms identify strongly unique genomic k-mers in seconds across billions of sequences, substantially accelerating alignment-free sequence analysis and xenograft sorting.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced the winner of its five-year competition to select a new cryptographic hash algorithm, one of the fundamental tools of modern ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology published the final version of its "Secure Hash Algorithm-3" standard in August 2015 and has released it to the public, calling it a "next-generation ...
