SHA1(Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is an encryption type which is useful while saving password and other information which we want to keep secured. Here is the sample code of converting a string to SHA1 ...

Hash algorithms are widely used to store passwords in a (relatively) secure manner by converting various length plaintexts into standard length scrambles in a manner that cannot mathematically be ...

The RC4 and SHA-1 algorithms have taken a lot of hits in recent years, with new attacks popping up on a regular basis. Many security experts and cryptographers have been recommending that vendors ...
