America's Next Top Hash Function Begins The biggest cryptography competition in years has kicked off, with nothing less than the security of the internet at stake.

Its cryptographic hash function works around the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a military-level algorithm for extreme security, making CryptoNight a mining algorithm highly focused on security.

For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death's door. Now it's officially dead, thanks to the submission of the first known ...

In computer security, random numbers are crucial values that must be unpredictable—such as secret keys or initialization vectors (IVs)—forming the foundation of security systems. To achieve this, ...

Among other desirable properties of hash functions, an interesting one is that it should be collision-resistant, that is it should be difficult to find two messages with the same hash value.

IOTA created its own cryptographic hash function, something cryptographers claim is not a good idea.

Hashcat is a popular and effective password cracker widely used by both penetration testers and sysadmins, as well as criminals and spies. At its most basic level, hashcat guesses a password ...
