Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

Understand the essentials of SHA-3 and how the latest secure hash algorithm strongly protects embedded systems against security attacks.

Hashing is a cryptographic process that makes it harder for attackers to decrypt stored passwords, if used correctly.

NIST has opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short "fingerprint" for use in digital signatures, message ...

SHA1 algorithm securing e-commerce and software could break by year’s end Researchers warn widely used algorithm should be retired sooner.

The chart lists major hashing algorithms on the left. The color immediately adjacent indicates how quickly a password hashed in each algorithm can be cracked by Terahash’s password-cracking ...

For Bitcoin specifically, the hashing algorithm difficulty adjusts up and down depending on how high the hash rate is. This is because creation of new Bitcoin was designed to be controlled over time.
