Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the effects of violating the conditions of hash function uniformity and/or independence on the false positive probability of Bloom Filters (BF). To this end, we ...

Hashing transforms data into a fixed-length cryptographic fingerprint that ensures integrity and authenticity. Every block in a blockchain contains its own hash and the previous block’s hash, forming ...

when applying the hash() function (which defaults to Murmur3Hash with seed 42) to a column that contains NULL values, Blaze's vectorized implementation produces a hash result of 0 for these NULL rows.

The quest to make biometric data private and secure has led to the development of biometric hashing. Hashing is a one-way process in which an algorithm called a cryptographic hash function takes an ...

For key type integer, the number of buckets should match the number used by the modulo operator. Since the Hash Function Example uses 1000, the number of buckets should be 1000. I expect the figure to ...
