The proposal argued that some large organizations currently find it hard to move to a more secure hashing algorithm for their digital certificates and need the additional year to make the transition.

SHA-1 is one of the most prevalent forms of a secure hash algorithm used in the legal and security industry. Now that Professor Xiaoyun Wang and her associates in Tsinghua University and Shandong ...

Hash algorithms are used by government agencies and businesses worldwide to make online transactions secure, store passwords and verify digital files and signatures.

The latest secure hash algorithm, SHA-3, is one such feature that’s now available in hardware. This article covers what you need to know about protecting your embedded design with SHA-3.

Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

In 1992, he improved on MD4 and developed another hash function: MD5. In 1993, the National Security Agency published a hash function very similar to MD5, called the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA).
