Security firm Mandiant has released a database that allows any administrative password protected by Microsoft’s NTLM.v1 hash ...

The new managed functions will let enterprises apply LLM reasoning to structured and unstructured data directly in SQL, eliminating prompt tuning and external tools. Google has boosted its BigQuery ...

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 ...

Snowflake wants to reduce enterprises’ reliance on data engineers and data scientists for unstructured data analysis with its new SQL functions powered by generative AI. Snowflake is adding generative ...

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.

In the realm of computer science, it’s hard to go too far without encountering hashing or hash functions. The concept appears throughout security, from encryption to password storage to crypto, and ...

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 ...
