Apr 5, 2016 · Typically it is correct to say that the output of a hash function is a hash (aslo known as a hash value or a hash sum). However, sometimes people refer to the function itself as a …

Jun 9, 2016 · If the data set consists of SHA-1 hashes strings that are deliberately chosen so that their SHA-1 hash starts with the byte 0, then taking the first byte doesn't satisfy randomness …

This answer possibly explains why choosing M(table size) equal to a power of 2 should be avoided.. Prime numbers that are too close to a power of 2 will provide the same kind of …

The main difference between hash functions and pseudorandom number generators is that a hash function gives a unique value for each input. This is important for applications such as …

Mar 17, 2021 · Given an open-address hash table with $\alpha$ < 1, the expected number of probes in a successful search is at most $\frac{1}{\alpha}\ln\frac{1}{1-\alpha}$ I read this in a …

I am reading the "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas Cormen et al.Particularly the theorem which says that given an open-address hash table with load factor $\alpha = n/m < 1$, the …

hash值是通过一个计算函数把难以比较的字符串或者其他类型的数据映射成一个整数，最常用的就是映射a～z的hash值，变成hash[(str(i)-‘a’]这个数是一个十进制数，这个十进制数把它映射到0 …

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is simple: if Hash(object) returns 27 when you call it this afternoon, we want Hash(object) to return 27 if we call it next week, on a different …

Nov 14, 2023 · As far as I and this wikipedia page know, there are no collisions (2 inputs with the same output) found in SHA-256 (yet). what would happen if a collision were to be found, 1. …

I am trying to implement a hash table for string keys as part of a university project. I was able to make a basic, working implementation without major issues. I am now trying to optimize the …
