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, ...

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

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this work, we present a modification of a well-established measure of dependence appropriate for the analysis of stopping times for ...

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said post-quantum cryptography exists, but would slow blockchains without hardware support.

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental component in ...

Hoskinson warned that rushing post-quantum upgrades could seriously slow down blockchain networks and raise costs.

The newest version of a proven cryptographic system is being embedded in many of the most advanced platforms entering service in the U.S. military. The Advanced Infosec Machine (AIM) microchip is a ...

Juniper Networks plans to remove the problematic cryptographic functions used by its firewall and BPN appliances. Despite the good news, Juniper still has not answered some of the most perplexing ...

You might not have realized it, but the next great battle of cryptography began this month. It's not a political battle over export laws or key escrow or NSA eavesdropping, but an academic battle over ...
