Two new IP cores for secure hash algorithm 3 (SHA-3) standard feature more versatile algorithm support. That encompasses support for all four variants of SHA-3 hashing algorithms—224, 256, 384, and ...

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 ...

Mahathi Kari's research contributes to this conversation by examining one of the foundational building blocks of secure ...

A cryptographic hash function converts an arbitrary-length message into a fixed-length digest, and it is a fundamental step in the efficient implementation of electronic messages. Back in 2004, ...

A contest launched by the National Institute of Standards to determine the successor of SHA-2 will end on Friday. NIST expects to receive 40 submissions to choose from, including one authored by ...

Many organizations may not realize it, but a seismic shift is occurring in the data encryption algorithm landscape. Without careful planning, experts say enterprises may find themselves on shaky ...
