Hash algorithms are the heart of the cryptography and security. SHA-256 is a Secure Hash Algorithm which will generate an output hash value in 256 bit. SHA-256 is designed by the National Security Agency (NSA). SHA-256 is one of the cryptographic hash functions. SHA-256 has also named a one-way function where the generated hash value … Read more
MD5 is a checksum or hash calculation method for files. MD5 checksum consists of 128-bit value which is generally expressed as the hexadecimal format with which consist of 32 characters. MD5 Attributes MD5 is a cryptography algorithm which provides some attributes which make it useful for different cases like security, operation etc. Here is the list … Read more
checksum is a function used to calculate some value for given data. As we see check is used to check given data with the calculated sum. Data may be little or very big like 1 MB, 10 MB, etc. but the checksum value will be the same size but different for each different type of data. the … Read more
OpenSSL is most popular open source cryptography library which provides a lot of tools, libraries, algorithms about cryptography. It is mostly known with Secure Socket Layers (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Supported Encryption Algorithms Encryption is used to make given data unreadable by the intruders. It is mainly used for confidentiality. OpenSSL supports … Read more
Security is important part of the today IT and gains more respect from IT world. Hashing is a security measure to protect and check our data. In this tutorial we will look how to use hash with tables and strings. What is Hash Hash is a function where provided data will be converted into another … Read more
In today IT world everything connected and a lot of data is being downloaded from the internet or over networks. This may create some minor problems. The data downloaded may be corrupted or there may be some intruders in network and with the man of the middle attack may change our files. There are different … Read more
