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 ...

When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ahead of the problem and keep our data secure. When you purchase through ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cryptographic hash functions secure data by providing a unique fixed-length output for each input. These functions are essential in blockchain for data integrity and secure transactions. Understanding ...

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 ...
