A hash function is well-defined procedure to convert large, uncertain long message into
fixed small integers. Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) is an one-way message digest algorithm …

Cryptographic hash functions have many security based applications, particularly in
message authentication codes (MACs), digital signatures and data integrity. Secure Hash …

The SHA-3 cryptographic hash algorithm is standardized in FIPS 202. We present a
pipelined hardware architecture supporting all the four SHA-3 modes of operation and a …

Hash functions are widely used in, and form an important part of many cryptographic
protocols. Currently, a public competition is underway to find a new hash algorithm (s) for …

Cryptographic hash functions are used for digital signatures; message authentication codes
(MACs) and other forms of authentication. National Institute of Standards and Technology …

Skein has the advantages of higher security (resisting against traditional attacks), faster
speed and selectable parameters. Therefore, it becomes a strong competitor for next …

In this paper, we present results of a comprehensive study devoted to the optimization of
FPGA implementations of modern cryptographic hash functions using embedded FPGA …

Nowadays, security has become an important topic of interest to researchers. Different types
of cryptography algorithms have been developed in order to improve the performance of …

This paper first presents a new architecture of SHA-1, which achieved the theoretical upper
bound on throughput in the iterative architecture. And then based on the general proposed …

In cryptography and information security, hash functions are considered as the" Swiss army
knife"-they are used in countless protocols and algorithms. In 2005, we witnessed a …
