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 US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the phasing out of the secure hash algorithm (SHA)-1 in the federal government. The agency said it will stop using SHA-1 in ...

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 ...

The vulnerability in the SHA-1 one-way hash function, which recently rocked the cryptographic world, is not seen as a threat to a new generation of one-time password products based on the encryption ...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the DS28CN01, a new highly integrated secure memory device. The DS28CN01 provides bidirectional challenge-and-response authentication protection by using the ...

At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., this week, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren’t cause for ...

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 ...

Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function cannot be reversed. Once you understand that, it is hard to go back to thinking otherwise. The secure hash ...
