Therefore, while optimizing the hashing algorithm, WiMi is researching how to improve the privacy protection of blockchain by using the PRCA architecture, whose dynamically re-configurable nature ...

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 ...

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 ...

Of all, the most significant change in PHP 7.2 is, by far, the support for Argon2, a password hashing algorithm [1, 2, 3] developed in the early 2010s and which won the Password Hashing ...

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif &#151 A team of three Chinese researchers have compromised the SHA-1 hashing algorithm at the core of many of today's mainstream security products. Top cryptographers said users ...

Such hash algorithms are ultimately one of the key security technologies for federal and public systems. The competition is NIST’s response to recent advances in the analysis of hash algorithms.

NIST issued a Call for a New Cryptographic Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) Family in a Federal Register Notice on Nov. 2, 2007.
