Microsoft is banning certain cryptographic functions from new computer code, ... (SHA)256 encryption algorithm and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cipher instead, he said.

Five days into 2021, already a new form of ransomware has emerged: Babuk Locker.First detailed Sunday by Chuang Dong, the ransomware uses its own implementation of SHA256 encryption called "ChaCh ...

Google researchers say cracking RSA encryption now needs 20x fewer qubits than previously estimated. Bitcoin uses ECC and SHA-256, which are stronger than RSA, but the timeline for cracking them ...

Today's key algorithms include AES-256 for symmetric key encryption, SHA-256 and SHA-3 for hashing functions, RSA public key encryption for digital signatures and key establishment, Elliptic Curve ...
