  2. Static hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_Hashing

    Static hashing is a form of hashing where ... would only require a full rehash of the entire database on rare occasion. Examples of this include sets of words and ...

  3. Database encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_encryption

    Secondly, hashing algorithms are not reversible. To relate this back to the example provided above, it would be nearly impossible to convert the output of the hashing algorithm back to the original input, which was "cat". [28] In the context of database encryption, hashing is often used in password systems.

  4. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    For example, if the input is 123 456 789 and the hash table size 10 000, then squaring the key produces 15 241 578 750 190 521, so the hash code is taken as the middle 4 digits of the 17-digit number (ignoring the high digit) 8750. The mid-squares method produces a reasonable hash code if there is not a lot of leading or trailing zeros in the key.

  5. DBM (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBM_(computing)

    The dbm library stores arbitrary data by use of a single key (a primary key) in fixed-size buckets and uses hashing techniques to enable fast retrieval of the data by key. The hashing scheme used is a form of extendible hashing , so that the hashing scheme expands as new buckets are added to the database, meaning that, when nearly empty, the ...

  6. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also allow arbitrary insertions and deletions of key–value pairs, at amortized constant average cost per operation. [3] [4] [5] Hashing is an example of a space-time tradeoff.

  7. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    The salt and hash are then stored in the database. To later test if a password a user enters is correct, the same process can be performed on it (appending that user's salt to the password and calculating the resultant hash): if the result does not match the stored hash, it could not have been the correct password that was entered.

  8. Retrieval Data Structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval_Data_Structure

    A retrieval data structure can be used to construct a perfect hash function: First insert the keys into a cuckoo hash table with = hash functions and buckets of size 1. Then, for every key store the index of the hash function that lead to a key's insertion into the hash table in a r {\displaystyle r} -bit retrieval data structure D ...
