When this era of quantum computing arrives, we will reach the point where post-quantum cryptography (PCQ) becomes essential.

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

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

Understand the essentials of SHA-3 and how the latest secure hash algorithm strongly protects embedded systems against security attacks.

As the federal government comes under attack by increasingly sophisticated threat actors, encrypting data, hashing passwords and salting hashes are becoming more important.

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired ...

SHA1 algorithm securing e-commerce and software could break by year’s end Researchers warn widely used algorithm should be retired sooner.

For Bitcoin specifically, the hashing algorithm difficulty adjusts up and down depending on how high the hash rate is. This is because creation of new Bitcoin was designed to be controlled over time.

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...
