Gaming GPUs like the RTX 5090 crack 60% of MD5-protected passwords in under an hour, outperforming enterprise security tools by 63%.

Just in time for World Password Day, Kaspersky is reminding everyone that outdated hashing algorithms such as MD5 remain among the worst choices for storing passwords.

Happy World Password Day! Maybe it's finally time to kill this holiday in favor of World No-More-Passwords Day?

Hashing refers to the process of using an algorithm to transform data of any size into a unique fixed sized output (e.g., combination of numbers). To put it in layman’s term, some piece of information ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

Passwords are the keys to our online identities, and as a result, they’re also near the top of the target list for attackers. There have been countless breaches in the last few years in which ...

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 ...

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