This standard specifies hash algorithms that can be used to generate digests of messages. The digests are used to detect whether messages have been changed since the digests were generated. This ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is planning a competition to develop one or more cryptographic "hash" algorithms to augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard ...

NIST is planning a competition to develop one or more cryptographic 'hash' algorithms to augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard (Federal Information Processing Standard 180-2). The ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic “hash” algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short ...

NIST has recently proposed a new FIPS 180-4 draft to introduce two Secure Hash Standard (SHS) modes based on the SHA-512 primitive. The proposed modes are meant to offer more efficient alternatives to ...

NIST has opened a competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, a tool that converts a file, message or block of data to a short "fingerprint" for use in digital signatures, message ...
