Microsoft says a dedicated patch will be provided to facilitate the switch from SHA-1 to SHA-2 on March 12. […]
[jpshare]The move from having SSL Certificates marked with the SHA-1 hashing algorithm to certificate signed with the SHA-256 set to start in November 2014 to meet refreshed federal and PCI compliance measures. Because of the ever show the necessity to reinforce procedures and strategies prompted the choice that the organizations must move to SHA-2 certificates, […]
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 […]
The use of SHA-1 certificates has been depreciated due to the ever-present necessity to strengthen procedures and strategies against a background of continually enhancing computational power. A Collision Attack is an attempt to discover two information strings of a hash capacity that deliver a similar hash result. Since hash capacities have boundless info length and […]
