Passwords are the keys to our online identities, and as a result, they’re also near the top of the target list for attackers. There have been countless breaches in the last few years in which ...

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 ...

The most popular web browsers are calling time on SHA-1, the hashing algorithm for securing data, and will soon begin blocking sites that use it. In a blog post, Microsoft stated that the algorithm ...

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, ...

Security experts vying to have their technology selected as the next cryptographic-hash algorithm standard for the U.S. government need to submit their entries this week. Then they will have a long ...

PHP got a whole lot more secure this week with the release of the 7.2 branch, a version that improves and modernizes the programming language's support for cryptography and password hashing algorithms ...

Hashing is a one-way cryptographic function while encryption is designed to work both ways. Encryption algorithms take input and a secret key and generate a random looking output called a ciphertext.

Recent hash table development raises questions about an optimal solution. Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries.

Audio hashing transforms raw audio signals into compact, fixed-length representations that capture perceptual characteristics, thereby facilitating rapid identification and verification of audio ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to retire it ...
