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 ...

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 ...

I may have missed something, but from a quick review of the relevant RFCs, it looks as if 3des-cbc and hmac-sha1 are still the [only] required encryption and hashing algorithms. This raises two ...

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 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 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) ...

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 ...
