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 RC4 and SHA-1 algorithms have taken a lot of hits in recent years, with new attacks popping up on a regular basis. Many security experts and cryptographers have been recommending that vendors ...

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 ...

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 ...

Google has initiated a process to revoke trust from any certificates that rely on the outdated SHA-1crytpographic hash algorithm. Google announced Friday it will begin the process of phasing out the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 NSA is taking a public shellacking online over its domestic communication monitoring systems that recently were revealed by leaker Edward Snowden. The Internet furor over the NSA is somewhat ...

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. Today, Google made major waves in the cryptography world, announcing a public collision in the SHA-1 ...

From next year, websites with new SHA-1 certificates will not be supported by Google Chrome in the interest of security. Last September, Google announced plans to slowly sunset support for the SHA-1 ...
