Many organizations may not realize it, but a seismic shift is occurring in the data encryption algorithm landscape. Without careful planning, experts say enterprises may find themselves on shaky ...

ASHBURN, Va. – Cryptography forms the foundation of many aspects of trusted computing. This article considers recent algorithms and cryptographic attacks, as well as some future directions for ...

Many organizations have been replacing the MD5 hash algorithm with the SHA-1 hash function, but can the MD5 hash algorithm still be used securely? MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a cryptographic ...

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 ...

At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., this week, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren’t cause for ...

“LAST year, I walked away saying thank God she didn’t get a break in SHA-1,” says William Burr. “Well, now she has.” Burr, a cryptographer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in ...
