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

Researchers have demonstrated new collision attacks against SHA-1 and MD5 implementations in TLS, IKE and SSH. If you’re hanging on to the theory that collision attacks against SHA-1 and MD5 aren’t ...

I need a fast hashing function for the purpose of unique identification (not security). How many different, say, 100 character strings can I hash with md5 before hitting a collision? What about sha1?

Underscoring just how broken the widely used MD5 hashing algorithm is, a software engineer racked up just 65 cents in computing fees to replicate the type of attack a powerful nation-state used in ...

Cryptographic hash functions secure data by providing a unique fixed-length output for each input. These functions are essential in blockchain for data integrity and secure transactions. Understanding ...
