The MD5 password hash algorithm is "no longer considered safe" by the original software developer, a day after the leak of more than 6.4 million hashed LinkedIn passwords.

The coinventor of “bcrypt” is reflecting on the ubiquitous function’s 25 years and channeling cybersecurity’s core themes into electronic dance music.

Yvgar said that he reverse-engineered the NeuralHash algorithm from iOS 14.3, where the code was hidden, and he rebuilt it in Python.

Kilo hash per second (Kh/s): 1,000 hashes per second, slow (compared with other rates) Mega hash per second (Mh/s): One million hashes per second. Generated by a GPU or CPU. Giga hash per second ...

The flaw affects the hashing algorithm, called NeuralHash, which allows Apple to check for exact matches of known child-abuse imagery without possessing any of the images or gleaning any ...

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing ...

By contrast, algorithms specifically designed for hashing passwords—such as Bcrypt, PBKDF2, or SHA512crypt—are slow and consume large amounts of memory and processing.
