In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

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

The National Institute of Standards and Technology today announced a public competition to pick a new cryptographic hash algorithm that would become the new federal information processing standard.

Cryptographic hash functions are crucial in ensuring the security and integrity of information across diverse industries. They protect sensitive financial transactions in banking, verify data ...

Do you know what hashing is? Symmetric encryption? Asymmetric encryption? Do you know how VPNs work? What about MD5, SHA, 3DES, DES, AES and other algorithms? Stephen Sims explains.

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 ...

Cryptography secures digital data using algorithms, essential in private secure communications. Cryptos use cryptographic methods like asymmetric encryption and hash functions for transactions.
