The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced the winner of its five-year competition to select a new cryptographic hash algorithm, one of the fundamental tools of modern ...

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 of ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to retire it ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...

A replacement for one of the most-used algorithms in computer security has finally been chosen after a competition between cryptographers that ran for five years. The competition was designed to ...

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 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) ...

Google is encouraging businesses and security practitioners to utilize cryptographic hashes like SHA-256, a Secure Hash Algorithm which serves as the basis of the Bitcoin network’s proof of work (PoW) ...

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 ...
