Cryptographic hash functions are widely used in many aspects of security, such as digital signatures and data integrity checks. The short digital fingerprint generated from an electronic file, message ...

NIST recently published a journal article named "Finding Bugs in Cryptographic Hash Function Implementations," detailing how NIST revisited its five-year SHA-3 competition to find the successor to the ...

Attacks on the SHA-1 hashing algorithm just got a lot more dangerous last week with the discovery of a cheap “chosen-prefix collision attack,” a more practical version of the SHA-1 collision attack ...
