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, ...

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental component in ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

The Ethereum Foundation forms a dedicated post-quantum security team, announces $2M in prizes, and launches multi-client devnets for quantum resistance.

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 ...
