For more than six years, the SHA1 cryptographic hash function underpinning Internet security has been at death’s door. Now it’s officially dead, thanks to the submission of the first known instance of ...

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 cryptography world has been buzzing with the news that researchers at Google and CWI Amsterdam have succeeded in successfully generating a 'hash collision' for two different documents using the ...

The Tuesday updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge force those browsers to flag SSL/TLS certificates signed with the aging SHA-1 hashing function as insecure. The move follows similar ...

A cryptographic hash function used in TLS / SSL, OpenPGP, etc.SHA-1To break Google, the NetherlandsCWI studyIt succeeded. As SHA - 1, which had been pointed out as "possibly being broken in theory", ...

SHA-1 is a hashing function used to encrypt information. It generates a random string of characters that act as a digital fingerprint for plaintext information while making sure no one except the ...

For the last five years, NIST, the government body charged with developing new standards for computer security, among other things, has been searching for a new hash function to replace the aging ...

Now, researchers have demonstrated a similar type of real-world attack against SHA1, which ironically was widely adopted after the insecurity of MD5 became well-known. Click to expand... What exactly ...
