Cryptographic hash functions are widely used in many aspects of security, such as digital signatures and data integrity checks. The short digital fingerprint generated from an electronic file, message ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology published the final version of its "Secure Hash Algorithm-3" standard in August 2015 and has released it to the public, calling it a "next-generation ...

ASHBURN, Va. – Cryptography forms the foundation of many aspects of trusted computing. This article considers recent algorithms and cryptographic attacks, as well as some future directions for ...

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 ...

This is an explanation of the Cryptography problem "It is my Birthday 2" from CyLab Security Academy (formerly picoCTF). You are provided with one file, invite.pdf. There is a form on the webpage to ...

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 ...

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 ...

The aging cryptographic hash function SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) has suffered what some experts consider its final blow today as researchers from Google and the CWI Institute revealed that they ...

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) ...

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 ...
