SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) Hash Function Broken Again by Researchers
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) Hash Function Broken Again by Researchers Researchers from Google and the CWI Institute revealed that they had found a consistent way to break the cryptographic hash function SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) during a recent demonstration. The Secure Hash Algorithm is a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the […]
IBM takes a big new step in cryptography: practical homomorphic encryption
A posting from Naked Security about IBM takes a big new step in cryptography: practical homomorphic encryption: IBM just released an open source software package called HELib. The HE stands for homomorphic encryption. Although it doesn't sound terribly sexy or impressive, HELib is actually an interesting and important milestone in cryptography. HE is also a surprisingly relevant topic right now, with […]
Bypassing Android encryption by freezing android phones
German Security Researchers have discovered that freezing an Android phone allows hackers to access the Encrypted data stored in the phone. The encryption method introduced in the Android version "Ice cream sandwich" by Google. The researchers bypassed this encryption system method by freezing the smartphone for an hour.
