Developers of two open source code libraries for Secure Shell—the protocol millions of computers use to create encrypted connections to each other—are retiring the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, four months ...

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 National Institute of Standards and Technology has chosen the five finalists for the last round of its competition to find the next hash function standard. The SHA-3 finalists include Skein, ...

Researchers unveiled the first-ever practical collision attack the cryptographic hash function SHA-1. Researchers unveiled on Thursday the first practical collision attack for the 22-year old ...

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 ...

A recently announced SHA-1 collision attack has the potential to break code repositories that use the Subversion (SVN) revision control system. The first victim was the repository for the WebKit ...

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function that underpins various security applications and protocols to help keep the internet safe. Experts, however, have warned for years that it’s out of date. Now, ...

No one considers the 20-year-old SHA-1 hash function secure, and browser makers are well on the way to phasing it out. But until yesterday's revelation by researchers at Google and CWI Amsterdam, ...

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 ...

It’s official: The SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm has been “SHAttered.” Google successfully broke SHA-1. Now what? After years of warning that advances in modern computing meant a successful collision ...

Understanding Bitcoin is a one-way hash function should make sense because a hash function cannot be reversed. Once you understand that, it is hard to go back to thinking otherwise. The secure hash ...

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 ...
