SHA1, one of the Internet’s most crucial cryptographic algorithms, is so weak to a newly refined attack that it may be broken by real-world hackers in the next three months, an international team of ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to retire it ...

Cryptography aficionados, say hello to a new hash algorithm backed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Dubbed Keccak (pronounced "catch-ack"), the secure 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 ...

You can’t un-ring a bell, but you might be able to un-hash an email, depending on whom you ask. In order for marketers to safely use hashes for targeted advertising, they must stay abreast of the ...

PHP got a whole lot more secure this week with the release of the 7.2 branch, a version that improves and modernizes the programming language's support for cryptography and password hashing algorithms ...

Some of the projects that use MD5 as the default method for storing user passwords include WordPress, osCommerce, SuiteCRM, miniBB, SugarCRM, CMS Made Simple, MantisBT, Phorum, Observium, and X3cms.
