Google Just Broke SHA-1 Encryption — One Of The Most Popular Cryptographic Hash Functions
Short Bytes: Google has achieved the first successful SHA-1 collision attack. By creating a specially crafted PDF prefix, the researchers were able to generate 2 documents with the same SHA-1 digest. Using its cloud infrastructure, Google was able to compute the mammoth collision. After this, Google expects that the usage of the vulnerable SHA-1 encryption hash […]
