In [[cryptography]], a '''memory hard function''' (MHF) is a function that costs significant amount of [[Random-access memory|memory]] to evaluate. It is different from [[memory bound function]]s, the latter incurs cost by slowing down computation through memory latency. MHFs find their use as a form of [[Proof of work|proof-of-work]].
