After nine years of research and competitions, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released the final version of its Secure Hash Algorithm-3 standard Wednesday. SHA-3 is a cryptographic ...

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental component in ...

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IOTA Foundation, a non-profit foundation focused on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and permissionless ecosystem development, today announced a new lightweight trinary ...

You might not have realized it, but the next great battle of cryptography began this month. It's not a political battle over export laws or key escrow or NSA eavesdropping, but an academic battle over ...

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...

The PKI industry recommends that every SHA-1 enabled PKI move to the vastly more secure SHA-2. Here's why and how. For the past two years, I’ve been busy helping Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) ...

I am having a hard time understanding exactly how salting passwords works in linux, and was hoping someone can help me understand it better. I understand the general concept of cryptographic salt, but ...

The latest version of Linus Torvalds' Git version-control system brings experimental support for the SHA-256 cryptographic hash, moving it away from its reliance on the less safe SHA-1. Google and ...

Researchers unveiled the first-ever practical collision attack the cryptographic hash function SHA-1. Researchers unveiled on Thursday the first practical collision attack for the 22-year old ...

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko urged Bitcoin to accelerate quantum-resistant upgrades, warning there’s a 50% chance of a ...
