XOR (exclusive or) is a vital logical operation that’s used in various capacities in a lot, if not all, cryptographic algorithms. Figure 1 shows how this function works.

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

As the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) prepares to announce the winner of its competition to find the next-generation cryptographic hash ...

A cryptographic hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and returns a fixed-length string of characters, which is typically a sequence of alphanumeric symbols.

EnSilica has created a combined hardware IP block that supports the full CRYSTALS post-quantum cryptography (PQC) suite.

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental ...

Algorithms like SHA-256 and elliptic curve cryptography are used to generate digital signatures and secure transactions on these platforms. Cryptography also comes into play through the us of ...

Trust is an Internet cornerstone, built on the belief that messages and files freely exchanged on the Internet are authentic. Foundational to that are hashing functions that transform messages and ...
