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 ...

The SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) cryptographic hash function is now officially dead and useless, after Google announced today the first ever successful collision attack.

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.

Ron Rivest invented the MD4 and MD5 hash functions in the early 1990s. Then the National Security Agency published a similar hash function called the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), followed by SHA-1 ...

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

All this effort is necessary because the current standard–the Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2)–is starting to show its age.

Microsoft plans to stop trusting Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) certificates next month for 'all major Microsoft processes and services,' according to a Wednesday announcement.

Chip combines secure hash algorithm and PUF to protect IoT, industrial and medical Maxim’s DS2477 secure co-processor is intended to protect industrial, medical and IoT applications with ...
