For the last five years, NIST, the government body charged with developing new standards for computer security, among other things, has been searching for a new hash function to replace the aging ...

Developers of two open source code libraries for Secure Shell—the protocol millions of computers use to create encrypted connections to each other—are retiring the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, four months ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has chosen the five finalists for the last round of its competition to find the next hash function standard. The SHA-3 finalists include Skein, ...

A cryptographic hash function used in TLS / SSL, OpenPGP, etc.SHA-1To break Google, the NetherlandsCWI studyIt succeeded. As SHA - 1, which had been pointed out as "possibly being broken in theory", ...

The SHA-256 hash function remains a cornerstone of modern cryptographic systems, underpinning applications ranging from blockchain mining to secure communications in IoT networks. Recent advancements ...

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

Bitcoin offers an irreversible digital property function that prior to its invention simply did not exist. Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function ...

Just to reiterate from a post I made later. There's a (very, very, very...) few places where SHA1 is not broken. But there's no reason ever to use it for new ...
