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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

I’m going to talk about the security behind Bitcoin addresses and keys, called Public Key Cryptography. This includes SHA256, Random Number Generators(RNGs), Hash Functions, and Elliptic Curve Digital ...

Cryptographic algorithms can be roughly classified in two categories: Encryption algorithms transform an input file into an output file from which it is (quite) impossible to recover the original ...
