Cryptography aficionados, say hello to a new hash algorithm backed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Dubbed Keccak (pronounced "catch-ack"), the secure hash algorithm, ...

Now that NIST has selected Keccak as the winner of the five-year-long SHA-3 competition, the next question to be answered is whether the new hash algorithm will be implemented in any meaningful way in ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking comments from the public on it’s latest cryptographic hash function, SHA-3. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is ...

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 ...

The shift has already started; finance is moving onto the blockchain, leveraging the decentralization and disintermediation benefits of the technology’s architecture. Assets of all kinds are being ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...

We are beginning to preview a revamp of the widgets board experience with a larger canvas (3-columns if supported by the device) and dedicated sections for widgets and feed content with a clear ...

The SHA-1 algorithm, one of the first widely used methods of protecting electronic information, has reached the end of its useful life, according to security experts at the National Institute of ...
