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.

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

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 ...

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

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