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 ...

COMMENTARY--I can imagine a world where the computers needed no security. Where there were no passwords, no security checks, and no firewalls. Where the computers communicated freely and shared ...

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.

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.

Cryptography can mean either the analysis or the deciphering of codes, ciphers and cryptograms. Also known as: cryptanalysis, cryptanalytics, cryptology. First Seen1900 B.C. Cryptography is a method ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In the last two articles, we covered the basic concepts and two basic types of cryptography. In this article, we will look at specific implementation ...
