This hash function, named “Troika,” was developed by CYBERCRYPT’s expert cryptographers, and will lay a strong cryptographic foundation for the final IOTA protocol.

Cryptographer Bruce Schneier says the upcoming SHA-3 cryptographic hash algorithm is not much better than the current one As the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and ...

Applications Cryptocurrency: Cryptographic hash functions are widely used in cryptocurrencies to pass transaction information anonymously. For example, Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 cryptographic hash ...

Hash functions are cryptography’s most widely used primitives, in that they are a fundamental building block used for a wide variety of constructions. The recent attacks of Joux, Wang, and ...

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

Without cryptographic hash functions, the internet would simply not work. At the same time, there isn't a good theory of hash functions.

Schneier is part of the team of cryptographers who created Skein, a family of cryptographic hash functions that has been selected as one of the competition’s five finalists. The idea of ...

As the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) prepares to announce the winner of its competition to find the next-generation cryptographic hash algorithm, ...
