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

Hashing algorithms are used to secure passwords by taking the plaintext password, passing it through the cryptographic hash algorithm, and then storing the resulting digest, rather than the ...

We will look at cryptographic hashing, and discuss some optimizations and other tricks that can be used to speed up commonly used algorithms. Due to recent discoveries of weaknesses in the commonly ...

What does cryptographic hash function actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

A four-year contest has drawn more than 60 entrants who designed new hashing algorithms to secure software.

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hashing function designed to produce a fingerprint of a document, making it easy to tell if a document has been modified after the fingerprint was calculated.

As the federal government comes under attack by increasingly sophisticated threat actors, encrypting data, hashing passwords and salting hashes are becoming more important.

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hashing function designed to produce a fingerprint of a document, making it easy to tell if a document has been modified after the fingerprint was calculated.

SHA1, one of the Internet's most crucial cryptographic algorithms, is so weak to a newly refined attack that it may be broken by real-world hackers in the next three months, an international team ...
