Objectives

Secure Hash Algorithm: is a cryptographic hash function designed by the United States National Security Agency and is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard published by the United States.

Research

Write C++ Program showing how it works

How do one-way hash functions work?

Research various methods security could be used on hash functions and write a report on it.

List the different methods you identified in your search.

Project Deliverables

Projects reports are expected to be 2 pages long. Don't stretch the report just to meet a particular page number, nor feel constrained if it needs to be longer to get your key points and results across.

A good report must answer the standard questions about any research project.

Prepare a class PowerPoint Presentation and DEMO. (50% of your grade is based on successful DEMO with documentation)
