The National Institute of Standards and Technology published the final version of its "Secure Hash Algorithm-3" standard in August 2015 and has released it to the public, calling it a "next-generation ...

As laid out in a recent CoinDesk explainer, a hash function (of which SHA1 is an example) is used to take a piece of data of any length, process it, and return another piece of data – the 'hash digest ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a competition to choose a new secure hashing algorithm, and the contest will end Friday, by which time the agency hopes to have ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced the winner of its five-year competition to select a new cryptographic hash algorithm, one of the fundamental tools of modern ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

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 ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

Security experts are warning that a security flaw has been found in a popular and powerful data encryption algorithm, dubbed SHA-1, by a team of scientists from Shandong University in China. The three ...

Microsoft plans to stop trusting Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) certificates next month for "all major Microsoft processes and services," according to a Wednesday announcement. Those SHA-1 ...

No it is not. Just webpages and browsers need to move to TLS 1.2. TLS 1.2 supports SHA-2 hashes. It's been around for years. I implemented a solution using it in a private EFT terminal implementation ...
