Security firm Mandiant has released a database that allows any administrative password protected by Microsoft’s NTLM.v1 hash ...

You can’t un-ring a bell, but you might be able to un-hash an email, depending on whom you ask. In order for marketers to safely use hashes for targeted advertising, they must stay abreast of the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) this week opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short ...

Hashing refers to the process of using an algorithm to transform data of any size into a unique fixed sized output (e.g., combination of numbers). To put it in layman’s term, some piece of information ...

Audio hashing transforms raw audio signals into compact, fixed-length representations that capture perceptual characteristics, thereby facilitating rapid identification and verification of audio ...

The most popular web browsers are calling time on SHA-1, the hashing algorithm for securing data, and will soon begin blocking sites that use it. In a blog post, Microsoft stated that the algorithm ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to retire it ...
