Fixating on Fixity: Is Your Choice of Checksum in Conflict with Your Climate Goals? George Blood(1), Raananah Sarid-Segal(2), Caroline Oliveira Mango(2) 1: George Blood LP, United States of America; 2: GBH
Not all cryptographic hashes are created equal. While some do not provide security, the more sophisticated the checksum, the more computational intensive it becomes. This means verifying the checksums uses more electricity, increasing the carbon footprint. This presentation compares the carbon intensity of common checksums to help make informed decisions.
