The digitalization of the modern world has brought an exponential surge in the amount of information computer systems must handle. Hashes, which we covered in Protocol Foundations 003: Hashing, can be leveraged to structure large quantities of data in a way that allows for efficient integrity verification. A common example is a database using hashes as indices for faster data lookup. The so-called hash table stores data in key- value pairs and accesses them by hashes. In Figure 1, we see this applied to storing phone numbers, one of hash tables’ original uses dating from the 1950s…
