Rest-in-Peace SHA-1. Like all security controls, they are only valuable for a certain period of time. SHA-1, a legacy hashing algorithm once used heavily in secure web browsing, has outlived its ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking comments from the public on it’s latest cryptographic hash function, SHA-3. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

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 ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a competition to choose a new secure hashing algorithm, and the contest will end Friday, by which time the agency hopes to have ...

PGP Corporation is planning to migrate to a more secure version of the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) in the upcoming releases of its PGP Desktop and PGP Universal encryption solutions. According to a ...

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 ...

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 ...
