Bringing to a close a five-year selection process, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected the successor to the encryption algorithm that is used today to secure ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finally chosen a replacement for one of the most widely-used computer security algorithms, following a five year contest among the world’s ...

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 ...

This document shows how Maxim’s DS1963S SHA iButton® can be used with small microcontrollers to provide strong encryption and authentication of control and status messages, telemetry, or sensitive ...

Microsoft last week has released a guide for orgs looking to get away from the risky Web-based Shell Hashing Algorithim-1 (SHA-1) encryption. Google, Mozilla and Apple are all involved in removing ...

When a paper demonstrating the first known SHA-1 collision was published last month, it caused quite a stir among the tech community. SHA-1 is still an extremely popular form of encryption, and ...
