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 ...

The SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, can now be attacked for as little as $75,000, and should be urgently retired, researchers say ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif &#151 A team of three Chinese researchers have compromised the SHA-1 hashing algorithm at the core of many of today's mainstream security products. Top cryptographers said users ...

Any string of text or data will, in theory, produce a unique SHA-1 hash. So the input "password" results in the hash output "5BAA61E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8".

A series of attacks on MD5, a hashing algorithm that's much more collision-prone than SHA1, provides a glimpse at the dire results of collision attacks. The Flame espionage malware, which the US ...

SHA-1, whose initials stand for “secure hash algorithm,” has been in use since 1995 as part of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180-1. It is a slightly modified version of SHA, the ...

“The SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm has been known to be considerably weaker than it was designed to be since at least 2005 — 9 years ago,” wrote Google’s Chris Palmer and Ryan Sleevi.

We will look at cryptographic hashing, and discuss some optimizations and other tricks that can be used to speed up commonly used algorithms. Due to recent discoveries of weaknesses in the commonly ...
