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 ...

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental component in ...

As the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) prepares to announce the winner of its competition to find the next-generation cryptographic hash algorithm, ...

Why upgrade if PQ signatures are not yet proven?The dirty secret of efforts to upgrade blockchains to post-quantum cryptography is that no one is sure if any of them work.None of the signatures being ...

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...

It is always important to verify whether the large file you downloaded is the file you expected to download or not. This is because files may change in some way from the original while downloading.

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 ...
