It might not sound like the most important milestone in cybersecurity, but today Google cracked an old cryptographic algorithm called SHA-1. It's significant because SHA-1 has been in use across the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The most popular web browsers are calling time on SHA-1, the hashing algorithm for securing data, and will soon begin blocking sites that use it. In a blog post, Microsoft stated that the algorithm ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Windows 10 security: 'So good, it can block zero-days without being patched' Systems running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update were shielded from two exploits even before Microsoft had issued patches ...

The PKI industry recommends that every SHA-1 enabled PKI move to the vastly more secure SHA-2. Here's why and how. For the past two years, I’ve been busy helping Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) ...

There are plenty of highly peer reviewed and security tested algorithms out there. Take SHA2 for example. For a cryptographer breaking SHA2 is the equivalent of winning the nobel prize. Right now ...

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 ...

Microsoft is removing all Windows downloads from the Microsoft Download Center that are signed using SHA-1 certificates on August 3rd, 2020. The SHA-1 algorithm was commonly used to code-sign ...
