Louvain‐la‐Neuve, Belgium ‐‐ May 24, 2017 ‐‐ Barco Silex, leading provider of IP cores for embedded security, has added the new SHA-3 hashing functions to its extensive offering of IP blocks. Hashing functions are used to check the integrity of messages, transactions and data in, e.g., e-commerce, financial applications or data archiving. SHA-3 hashing is part of the NIST-endorsed FIPS 202 standard and serves as a future-proof backup for the widely-used SHA-2 algorithms.
Hashing algorithms transform digital data such as messages, transactions or software packages into a unique, short “message digest”. Thereafter, even the smallest change in the original … Read More → "New SHA-3 hashing IP from Barco Silex helps customers implement future-proof security"
