IPsec incorporates several cryptographic operations to ensure message authenticity, data integrity, and sender nonrepudiation. In this section we will describe the mechanics of these cryptographic ...

Abstract: Presents a new proposed message digest (MD) algorithm. Many of its characteristics (application domain, performance and implementation structure) are similar to those of the MD4 family of ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The security of cryptographic applications critically relies on symmetric keys and private keys that are continually kept secret. The method used to ...

An algorithm that transforms a given amount of data (the "message") into a fixed number of digits, known as the "hash," "digest" or "digital fingerprint." Hash functions are a fundamental component in ...

We used MD5 in the prepo hash-generation code simply “because it was there”: LLVM had a pre-existing implementation which meant that we could get started quickly. However, MD5 is “ cryptographically ...
