Things are about to get a lot safer on the internet with SHA-2, but there is plenty of work still to be done when it comes to SHA-1 deprecation. For the past couple of years, browser makers have raced ...

A team from Google and CWI Amsterdam just announced it: they produced the first SHA-1 hash collision. The attack required over 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 SHA-1 computations, the equivalent processing ...

SHA-1 is a hashing function used to encrypt information. It generates a random string of characters that act as a digital fingerprint for plaintext information while making sure no one except the ...

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 Experts, however, have warned for years that it’s out of date.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, ...

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 ...

Microsoft on Friday described its 2019 timeline for when it will start distrusting Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) in supported Windows systems, as well as in the Windows Server Update Services 3.0 ...

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 ...

In February 2017, Google and CWI announced they had broken SHA-1 encryption. This isn't a surprise: The encryption, used for things like digital signatures, had been susceptible to collisions for ...

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 ...

Microsoft plans to stop trusting Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) certificates next month for "all major Microsoft processes and services," according to a Wednesday announcement. Those SHA-1 ...
