MD5, which is short for Message-Digest algorithm 5, is a cryptographic function used to create hash values that are 16 bytes in length (128 bits). MD5 has been specified in the RFC 1321 and has been used widely in many different security applications; and is most commonly used in digital certificates or also widely known […]
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. The Secure Socket Layer protocol was developed by Netscape. SSL provides security to communications over the Internet by creating a secure channel using cryptography. The Secure Socket Layer along with TLS provides security by encrypting segments or packets of data above the transport layer of the network. There are
SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA-2 was designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and was published in the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) FIPS PUB 180-2. SHA-2 is a cryptographic hash function similar to MD5 and SHA-1. It generates a 224, 256, 384, or 512-bit message digest or, in other words, a hash
SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA has been published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a part of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) FIPS PUB 180-1. SHA is a cryptographic hash function similar to MD5, and it generates a 160-bit message digest or, in other words, a hash value
Cryptography is derived from the Greek word ‘cryptos,’ which means hidden. Cryptography is the art of encrypting confidential information and messages before transmitting them to another computer or location and then decrypting them when they reach the intended destination. In today’s modern world, hiding confidential information is a vital objective for any organization or country.
