Cryptographic hash functionGlossary · A cryptographic hash function maps input of any length to a fixed-size digest and must resist preimage, second preimage, and collision attacks.
Merkle treeGlossary · A Merkle tree is a hash tree whose root commits to an entire data set, enabling compact membership proofs in hash-based signatures and blockchains.
SHA-2Glossary · SHA-2 is the widely deployed family of NIST cryptographic hash functions, including SHA-256, weakened only quadratically by Grover's algorithm.
SHA-3Glossary · SHA-3 is the Keccak-based NIST hash standard whose SHAKE extendable-output functions are used inside the ML-KEM and SLH-DSA post-quantum schemes.
