The SHA-1 algorithm, one of the first widely used methods of protecting electronic information, has reached the end of its useful life, according to security experts at the National Institute of ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

Behind the hype lies a grounded, strategic reality: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is about preparation, not ...

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.

SHA-2 is actually a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) in the MD (message digest) algorithm design.

“The SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm has been known to be considerably weaker than it was designed to be since at least 2005 — 9 years ago,” wrote Google’s Chris Palmer and Ryan Sleevi.

Google today announced its plans to sunset the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm as Chrome uses it in certificate signatures for HTTPS. The company hopes to start the process later this month ...

The new hash algorithm will be referred to as 'SHA-3' and will be developed through a public competition, much like the development of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)." ...

Quantum computers could crack public-key encryption in as little as five years. Here's how to prepare for the post-quantum world.

For hash standards, SHA-2 and SHA-3 algorithm families are considered highly secure and are used in numerous cryptographic applications today. Here, it’s worth noting that SHA-3 is significantly ...
