Since my start in 2008, I've covered a wide variety of topics from space missions to fax service reviews. At PCMag, much of my work focused on security and privacy services, as well as a video game or ...

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, ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

No one considers the 20-year-old SHA-1 hash function secure, and browser makers are well on the way to phasing it out. But until yesterday's revelation by researchers at Google and CWI Amsterdam, ...

Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function cannot be reversed. Once you understand that, it is hard to go back to thinking otherwise. The secure hash ...

Zappos, digging out from a breach that forced it to reset 24 million customer passwords, Thursday said it was using a SHA-2 cryptographic hash but would not disclose any details about its ...

The aging cryptographic hash function SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) has suffered what some experts consider its final blow today as researchers from Google and the CWI Institute revealed that they ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

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 ...
