Novel Cryptology Algorithims (Prata / 2008 T-GAP)

A more secure and efficient authentication algorithm ensures greater return on investment

Hash functions are amongst the most widely used cryptographic tools to ensure data integrity in electronic communications. A hash function is a map that sends binary strings of arbitrary length to binary strings of a fixed length. Here, the length is a number that is fixed in advance. Commonly used hash functions have a length varying from 32 bits to 512 bits. A secure hash function, or MAC is a hash function that incorporates key material. In other words, a key is required to compute the value.
