Mining algorithms are the backbone of blockchain-based networks like Bitcoin and other protocols. In blockchain technology, mining algorithms are necessary for transaction verification and network ...

Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function cannot be reversed. Once you understand that, it is hard to go back to thinking otherwise. The secure hash ...

In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...
