Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

While passwords remain the first line of defense for protecting user accounts against unauthorized access, the methods for creating strong passwords and protecting them are continually evolving. For ...

Hashing is a cryptographic process that allows converting any type of data into a unique fixed-size numeric value called “hash”. Hashes are generated using hashing algorithms that are both ...

Abstract: Hash functions were introduced in cryptology as a tool to protect the authenticity of information. SHA-1, MD5, and RIPEMD are among the most commonly-used hash function message digest ...

Abstract: In this era of technology with an increasing usage of Internet, data security has become a major issue. Various cryptographic hash function such as MD4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2 has been defined to ...

To strengthen the deterministic hash algorithm present in the RFC, sender timestamp should be a part of the deterministic message hash computation. As discussed in the vac research/doc vacp2p/rfc#632.

I am reaching out to you as we conducted an empirical study to understand the nature of cryptographic misuses in enterprise-driven projects on GitHub. During our study, we randomly inspected a few of ...

ABSTRACT: Though the History of using password in computing can be traced back to as far as mid of last century little focus has been implied on how to securely store and retrieve password to ...
