In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

Recent hash table development raises questions about an optimal solution. Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries.

It might not sound like the most important milestone in cybersecurity, but today Google cracked an old cryptographic algorithm called SHA-1. It's significant because SHA-1 has been in use across the ...

OpenSSL is a powerful Secure Sockets Layer cryptographic library. Apache uses it for HTTPS encryption, and OpenSSH uses it for SSH encryption. But, you don't have to use it as a library. It's also a ...

Your hardware is ready. Now, let's load up some software and get cracking. In Part I of this series, I explained how password cracking works in general terms and ...
