Researchers have produced a collision in iOS’s built-in hash function, raising new concerns about Apple’s CSAM-scanning system — but Apple says the finding does not threaten the integrity of the ...

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

Phil Goldstein is a former web editor of the CDW family of tech magazines and a veteran technology journalist. He lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife and their animals: a dog named Brenna, and ...

Hashing is a one-way cryptographic function while encryption is designed to work both ways. Encryption algorithms take input and a secret key and generate a random looking output called a ciphertext.

Passwords are the keys to our online identities, and as a result, they’re also near the top of the target list for attackers. There have been countless breaches in the last few years in which ...

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 ...

A mathematical formula that accepts a quantity of data and derives a number known as a "hash" or "hash value." See hash and cryptographic hash function. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All ...
