Norton Community Watch, a voluntary and anonymous service, allows a user's Norton product to forward information to Symantec servers. [3] Among the data collected are the processes running and their SHA256 values. A reappearing hash value and its corresponding file are whitelisted, and Norton Insight checks the processes on a user's computer ...
The technique is based on digital signatures and hash functions. First a hash is calculated from the data. A hash is a sort of digital fingerprint of the original data: a string of bits that is practically impossible to duplicate with any other set of data. If the original data is changed then this will result in a completely different hash.
Symantec Endpoint Protection, developed by Broadcom Inc., is a security software suite that consists of anti-malware, intrusion prevention and firewall features for server and desktop computers. [ 2 ]
Rather than store the plaintext of user passwords, an access control system typically stores a hash of the password. When a person requests access, the password they submit is hashed and compared with the stored value. If the stored validation data is stolen, then the thief will only have the hash values, not the passwords.
HMAC uses two passes of hash computation. Before either pass, the secret key is used to derive two keys – inner and outer. Next, the first pass of the hash algorithm produces an internal hash derived from the message and the inner key. The second pass produces the final HMAC code derived from the inner hash result and the outer key.
This hash harvesting technique is more advanced than previously used techniques (e.g. dumping the local Security Accounts Manager database (SAM) using pwdump and similar tools), mainly because hash values stored in memory could include credentials of domain users (and domain administrators) that logged into the machine. For example, the hashes ...
The Symantec PGP platform has now undergone a rename. PGP Desktop is now known as Symantec Encryption Desktop (SED), and the PGP Universal Server is now known as Symantec Encryption Management Server (SEMS). The current shipping versions are Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.3.0 (Windows and macOS platforms) and Symantec Encryption Server 3.3.2.
SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3) is the latest [4] member of the Secure Hash Algorithm family of standards, released by NIST on August 5, 2015. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Although part of the same series of standards, SHA-3 is internally different from the MD5 -like structure of SHA-1 and SHA-2 .
