It is a slightly modified version of SHA, the first hash function the federal government standardized for widespread use in 1993. As today’s increasingly powerful computers are able to attack the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

As there are flaws in the SHA-1 algorithm that make it less secure, Microsoft has stated that starting on July 16th 2019, Windows updates will only be signed using the SHA-2 algorithm going forward.

The SHA-2 algorithm solves these problems, but Venafi Labs’ research shows that many companies have still not made this update, leaving them open to security breaches, compliance problems and ...

Even though the latest SHA-2 algorithm “is likely to remain secure for the foreseeable future,” it has limitations and is based on old cryptographic techniques, said Schneier, who along with ...

Windows for now uses both the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash algorithms to authenticate its updates and prevent man-in-the-middle tampering, with newer systems supporting only SHA-2, and older ones only SHA-1.

The SHA-2 algorithm comes in four versions with different digest sizes usually called SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) is an algorithm for ...

Things are about to get a lot safer on the internet with SHA-2, but there is plenty of work still to be done when it comes to SHA-1 deprecation.

More than two years after Google, Firefox, and Microsoft have taken steps to deprecate TLS/SSL certificates signed with the SHA-1 algorithm, Apple has finally announced a similar measure this week ...

Infineon has announced that its microcontrollers in the new PSOC Control C3 Performance Line family are compliant with PQC requirements.

Even though the latest SHA-2 algorithm “is likely to remain secure for the foreseeable future,” it has limitations and is based on old cryptographic techniques, said Schneier, who along with ...
