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 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 ...

After nine years of research and competitions, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released the final version of its Secure Hash Algorithm-3 standard Wednesday. SHA-3 is a cryptographic ...

Conversely, symmetric cryptography in general, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2), and SHA-3 in particular, are expected to suffer a much smaller security ...

Behind the hype lies a grounded, strategic reality: transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is about preparation, not ...

SHA-2 is actually a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) in the MD (message digest) algorithm design.

“The SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm has been known to be considerably weaker than it was designed to be since at least 2005 — 9 years ago,” wrote Google’s Chris Palmer and Ryan Sleevi.

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

Google today announced its plans to sunset the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm as Chrome uses it in certificate signatures for HTTPS. The company hopes to start the process later this month ...

Bringing to a close a five-year selection process, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected the successor to the encryption algorithm that is used today to secure ...
