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 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 experts are warning that a security flaw has been found in a popular and powerful data encryption algorithm, dubbed SHA-1, by a team of scientists from Shandong University in China. The three ...

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 ...

More than two years after Google, Firefox, and Microsoft have taken steps to deprecate TLS/SSL certificates signed with the SHA-1 algorithm, Apple has finally announced a similar measure this week. In ...

it isn't spelled out like in later algorithms but the plain "rsa" option here is an implicit rsa with sha-1 hashes. on edit: this hasn't been true for some time. Sorry for the confusion. Today -t rsa ...

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 ...

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 users are being asked to upgrade their encryption support. Microsoft is in the process of phasing out use of the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) code-signing ...

In 2017, Microsoft deprecated SHA-1 TLS certificates along with Google and Mozilla since the legacy hashing algorithm was no longer secure. Since then, their support shifted to SHA-2 and SHA-3, which ...

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 ...

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 ...
