SHA-1 is a cryptographic hashing function designed to produce a fingerprint of a document, making it easy to tell if a document has been modified after the fingerprint was calculated.

Several cryptographers are sponsoring a new Password Hashing Algorithm to find a password hash that’s more secure than the existing alternatives.

SHA1 algorithm securing e-commerce and software could break by year’s end Researchers warn widely used algorithm should be retired sooner.

Researchers have produced a collision in iOS’s built-in hash function, raising new concerns about Apple’s CSAM-scanning system — but Apple says the finding does not threaten the integrity of ...

A cryptographic hash function is a mathematical algorithm that takes an input (or 'message') and returns a fixed-length string of characters, which is typically a sequence of alphanumeric symbols.
