Security firm Mandiant has released a database that allows any administrative password protected by Microsoft’s NTLM.v1 hash ...

Hashing transforms data into a fixed-length cryptographic fingerprint that ensures integrity and authenticity. Every block in a blockchain contains its own hash and the previous block’s hash, forming ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...

How does the length of the hash correspond to the input string? Always 32 characters, regardless of input size. Are there any visible correlations between the hash and the input string? None visible; ...

Your browser does not support the audio element. What is so special about it? Another cryptographic algorithm with a fancy name added to your list of things to ...

The quest to make biometric data private and secure has led to the development of biometric hashing. Hashing is a one-way process in which an algorithm called a cryptographic hash function takes an ...

Abstract: In information security, message authentication is an essential technique to verify that received messages come from the alleged source and have not been altered. A key element of ...

While passwords remain the first line of defense for protecting user accounts against unauthorized access, the methods for creating strong passwords and protecting them are continually evolving. For ...
