Cryptographic hash functions are crucial in ensuring the security and integrity of information across diverse industries. They protect sensitive financial transactions in banking, verify data ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology today announced a public competition to pick a new cryptographic hash algorithm that would become the new federal information processing standard.

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

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, ...

Security experts vying to have their technology selected as the next cryptographic-hash algorithm standard for the U.S. government need to submit their entries this week. Then they will have a long ...

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

Fifteen-year-old Peter Schmidt-Nielsen spent only a month working on his submission, but he thinks he’s come up with something “unusual and new.” Never mind that he’s up against some of the most ...

Quantum computing’s threat to encryption is - conceptually at least – very simple. One day, perhaps quite soon, a quantum computer may be able to ...
