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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the phasing out of the secure hash algorithm (SHA)-1 in the federal government. The agency said it will stop using SHA-1 in ...
