Microsoft Extends SHA-2, TLS Support for Windows
One by one, tech companies have been tossing aside the SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm like the unreliable collision-prone mess that it is. Microsoft was among the first to steer its customers away from SHA-1 and established an internal edict that its developers would no longer use it for...

Silent Circle Moving Away From NIST Ciphers in Wake of NSA Revelations
The first major domino to fall in the crypto world after the NSA leaks by Edward Snowden began was the decision by Lavabit, a secure email provider, to shut down in August rather than comply with a government order. Shortly thereafter, Silent Circle, another provider of secure email and other...
Forthcoming SHA-3 Hash Function May Be Unnecessary
For the last five years, NIST, the government body charged with developing new standards for computer security, among other things, has been searching for a new hash function to replace the aging SHA-2 function. Fives years is a long time, but this is the federal government and things move at the...
NIST Announces SHA-3 Hash Function Finalists
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has chosen the five finalists for the last round of its competition to find the next hash function standard. The SHA-3 finalists include Skein, developed by a group including Bruce Schneier and Jon Callas. The other four SHA-3 finalists are BLAKE...
