Cryptographer Bruce Schneier says the upcoming SHA-3 cryptographic hash algorithm is not much better than the current one As the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and ...

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.

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

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Key Points Cryptography secures data through algorithms, crucial for private and authentic communication. Investing in cryptocurrency involves understanding key encryption methods like hash functions.

To take on all of these challenges, Silicon Valley hardware startup Fabric Cryptography is today announcing its $33 million Series A funding round to build computing chips, software and ...

NIST will publish the “lightweight cryptography” standard later this year. It’ll be targeted at tiny devices that have limited resources and thus demand a compact security implementation. “The Ascon ...

Also, If relative complexities of functions/problems interest you, feel free to look into Algorithm Time Complexity. Let’s go a little deeper, and look at it graphically for a more concrete ...
