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

Researchers have produced a collision in iOS’s built-in hash function, raising new concerns about Apple’s CSAM-scanning system — but Apple says the finding does not threaten the integrity of the ...

In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

Recently a team of researchers reported that the SHA-1 function offers significantly less collision resistance than could be expected from a cryptographic hash function of its output size. This ...

The old and insecure MD5 hashing function hasn’t been used to sign SSL/TLS server certificates in many years, but continues to be used in other parts of encrypted communications protocols, including ...

The latest version of Linus Torvalds' Git version-control system brings experimental support for the SHA-256 cryptographic hash, moving it away from its reliance on the less safe SHA-1. Google and ...

Cryptography secures digital data using algorithms, essential in private secure communications. Cryptos use cryptographic methods like asymmetric encryption and hash functions for transactions.
