Dubbed Keccak (pronounced "catch-ack"), the secure hash algorithm, which will officially be known as SHA-3, beat 63 other submissions after NIST issued an open call for a SHA-2 replacement in 2007.

On 2 October an algorithm called Keccak was named the winner of the Secure Hash Algorithm-3 (SHA-3) competition, run by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg ...

At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif. last month, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren't cause ...

Two open-source Secure Shell libraries have pulled support for the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1), used for the past 20 years to verify the integrity of software, digital signatures and other ...

Therefore, we believe that migration from SHA-1 to the secure SHA-2 or SHA-3 hash algorithms should be done sooner than previously planned." ...

This shows that the algorithm’s use for security-sensitive functions should be discontinued as soon as possible. SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be ...

“It is a secure I2C co-processor with built-in 1-Wire master that combines FIPS202-compliant secure hash algorithm [SHA-3] challenge and response authentication with Maxim’s ChipDNA feature to provide ...
