In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

Mountain View, Calif.-based Verisign, a managed security service provider, said that it has immediately discontinued the flawed MD5 cryptographic function used for digital signatures, while offering a ...

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 ...

Encryption is a hot and controversial topic these days and the latest to join the encryption party is popular messaging app Viber. Following in the footsteps of rival WhatsApp, which turned on ...

Using computing power from a cluster of 200 PS3 game consoles and about $700 in test digital certificates, a group of hackers in the U.S. and Europe have found a way to target a known weakness in the ...

Microsoft has given customers six months to find MD5 installations and prepare for a February 2014 patch that will block the broken algorithm. The clock is running on Windows administrators to sweep ...
