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 ...

It's the little things that matter most, as the saying goes, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has got their back. NIST's newly finalized lightweight cryptography standard ...

Blockchain security relies heavily on cryptographic primitives like public-key encryption, digital signatures, and hash functions. In current systems, techniques such as RSA and elliptic curve ...

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

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.

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 ...
