The National Institute of Standards and Technology published the final version of its "Secure Hash Algorithm-3" standard in August 2015 and has released it to the public, calling it a "next-generation ...

Two new IP cores for secure hash algorithm 3 (SHA-3) standard feature more versatile algorithm support. That encompasses support for all four variants of SHA-3 hashing algorithms—224, 256, 384, and ...

NIST recently published a journal article named "Finding Bugs in Cryptographic Hash Function Implementations," detailing how NIST revisited its five-year SHA-3 competition to find the successor to the ...

A contest launched by the National Institute of Standards to determine the successor of SHA-2 will end on Friday. NIST expects to receive 40 submissions to choose from, including one authored by ...

A cryptographic hash function converts an arbitrary-length message into a fixed-length digest, and it is a fundamental step in the efficient implementation of electronic messages. Back in 2004, ...
