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 ...

A widely used cryptographic algorithm used to secure sensitive websites, software, and corporate servers is weak enough that well-financed criminals could crack it in the next six years, a ...

Google today announced its plans to sunset the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm as Chrome uses it in certificate signatures for HTTPS. The company hopes to start the process later this month with ...

Google has announced that it has cracked the Secured Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) cryptographic function, marking a milestone that spells both danger and opportunity for the computing world. The ...

SHA1, one of the Internet's most crucial cryptographic algorithms, is so weak to a newly refined attack that it may be broken by real-world hackers in the next three months, an international team of ...

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 ...

Rest-in-Peace SHA-1. Like all security controls, they are only valuable for a certain period of time. SHA-1, a legacy hashing algorithm once used heavily in secure web browsing, has outlived its ...

Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates that secure major websites, making it more urgent than ever to retire it ...

Windows operating system updates are dual-signed using both the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash algorithms to prove authenticity. But going foward, due to "weaknesses" in SHA-1, Microsoft officials have said ...
