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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Lightweight cryptographic primitives are commonly used to secure communication in resource-constrained IoT devices such as RFID tags, sensors, actuators, wireless sensor networks, and edge ...

NVIDIA's cuPQC 0.4 introduces advanced cryptographic features like expanded hash functions and Merkle trees, bolstering data integrity and security for large datasets. NVIDIA has unveiled the latest ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Update 3/9/25: After receiving concerns about the use of the term 'backdoor' to refer to these undocumented commands, we have updated our title and story. Our original story can be found here. The ...
