The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a competition to choose a new secure hashing algorithm, and the contest will end Friday, by which time the agency hopes to have ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

A cryptographic hash function converts an arbitrary-length message into a fixed-length digest, and it is a fundamental step in the efficient implementation of electronic messages. Back in 2004, ...

The shift has already started; finance is moving onto the blockchain, leveraging the decentralization and disintermediation benefits of the technology’s architecture. Assets of all kinds are being ...

SLX FPGA facilitates converting your C/C++ project into an FPGA bitstream easier and with higher performance. Leveraging standard HLS (High Level Synthesis) tools from FPGA vendors, SLX FPGA tackles ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

It’s official: The SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm has been “SHAttered.” Google successfully broke SHA-1. Now what? After years of warning that advances in modern computing meant a successful collision ...
