Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

The SHA-1 algorithm, one of the first widely used methods of protecting electronic information, has reached the end of its useful life, according to security experts at the National Institute of ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced the phasing out of the secure hash algorithm (SHA)-1 in the federal government. The agency said it will stop using SHA-1 in ...

Less than two months after a ban came into effect for new SSL/TLS certificates signed with the weak SHA-1 hashing algorithm, exemptions are already starting to take shape. Mozilla announced Wednesday ...

Organisations and commercial firms have 90 days to switch to safer cryptographic hashes after researchers from a Dutch institute and Google jointly announced a method to crack the SHA-1 algorithm that ...

Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...

But there it's not applied as a security measure. For integrity it doesn't really matter, the only issue there is a random collision and that's still as unlikely as ever. It's pretty much impossible ...

Security experts are warning that a security flaw has been found in a powerful data encryption algorithm, dubbed SHA-1, by a team of scientists from Shandong University in China. The three scientists ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

No it is not. Just webpages and browsers need to move to TLS 1.2. TLS 1.2 supports SHA-2 hashes. It's been around for years. I implemented a solution using it in a private EFT terminal implementation ...
