As the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) prepares to announce the winner of its competition to find the next-generation cryptographic hash algorithm, ...

Chaotic hash functions represent a cutting‐edge convergence between nonlinear dynamics and cryptographic science. These functions employ chaotic maps—mathematical systems that exhibit extreme ...

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IOTA Foundation, a non-profit foundation focused on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and permissionless ecosystem development, today announced a new lightweight trinary ...

Hash functions are cryptography’s most widely used primitives, in that they are a fundamental building block used for a wide variety of constructions. The recent attacks of Joux, Wang, and others ...

You might not have realized it, but the next great battle of cryptography began this month. It's not a political battle over export laws or key escrow or NSA eavesdropping, but an academic battle over ...

Three cryptographers at Stanford University recently came up with a clever solution to the persistent problem of identity theft on the Internet. Wily hackers in Russia, China, and other countries send ...

You may never have heard of SHA-1 or a hash collision, but it's one of the most impressive accomplishments of any security researcher. Since my start in 2008, I've covered a wide variety of topics ...
