For the last five years, NIST, the government body charged with developing new standards for computer security, among other things, has been searching for a new hash function to replace the aging ...

Developers of two open source code libraries for Secure Shell—the protocol millions of computers use to create encrypted connections to each other—are retiring the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, four months ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has chosen the five finalists for the last round of its competition to find the next hash function standard. The SHA-3 finalists include Skein, ...

Download this article in PDF format. On the surface, this sounds ridiculous: A lobby fish tank gets attacked by hackers. Why would anyone want to break into a fish tank (Fig. 1)? But in this case, the ...

A cryptographic hash function used in TLS / SSL, OpenPGP, etc.SHA-1To break Google, the NetherlandsCWI studyIt succeeded. As SHA - 1, which had been pointed out as "possibly being broken in theory", ...

You might not have realized it, but the next great battle of cryptography began this month. It's not a political battle over export laws or key escrow or NSA eavesdropping, but an academic battle over ...

The EIP-57 is the IP for accelerating the various secure hash integrity algorithms like MD5 (RFC1231), SHA-1 (FIPS-180-2), SHA-2 (FIPS-180-3/4) and SHA-3 (FIPS-202), supporting the NIST MAC ... The ...

Just to reiterate from a post I made later. There's a (very, very, very...) few places where SHA1 is not broken. But there's no reason ever to use it for new ...
