    Linear hashing (LH) is a dynamic data ... Linear hashing is used in the Berkeley database system (BDB), which in turn is used by many software systems, ...

  3. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A universal hashing scheme is a randomized algorithm that selects a hash function h among a family of such functions, in such a way that the probability of a collision of any two distinct keys is 1/m, where m is the number of distinct hash values desired—independently of the two keys. Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...

  4. Static hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_Hashing

    Since static hashing requires that the database, its objects, and reference remain the same, its applications are limited.Databases which contain information which changes rarely are also eligible as it would only require a full rehash of the entire database on rare occasion.

  5. 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.

  6. Extendible hashing - Wikipedia

    Extendible hashing is a type of hash system which treats a hash as a bit string and uses a trie for ... Gehrke, J. (2003), Database Management Systems, 3rd ...

  7. DBM (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    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 database starts with one bucket, which is then split when it becomes full. The two resulting child buckets will themselves split when they become full, so the database grows ...

  8. 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.
