Mozilla has temporarily reinstated support for a vulnerable cryptographic algorithm after some Firefox users were unable to access encrypted HTTPS websites. The browser maker blamed the unintended ...

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 ...

Millions of Web users could be left unable to access websites over the HTTPS protocol if those websites only use digital certificates signed with the SHA-2 hashing algorithm. The warning comes from ...

It might not sound like the most important milestone in cybersecurity, but today Google cracked an old cryptographic algorithm called SHA-1. It's significant because SHA-1 has been in use across the ...

The Tuesday updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge force those browsers to flag SSL/TLS certificates signed with the aging SHA-1 hashing function as insecure. The move follows similar ...

Researchers claim the "SHAttered attack" can be used to break anything that still uses the legacy SHA-1 cryptographic hash function. (Logo: Shattered.io) The Secure Hash Algorithm-1 - aka SHA-1 - ...

The Tuesday updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge force those browsers to flag SSL/TLS certificates signed with the aging SHA-1 hashing function as insecure. The move follows similar ...

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 ...

Google this week announced that Shell Hashing Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) has been broken. SHA-1 is a 20-year-old cryptographic approach that's long been used to protect Web traffic. Its use was officially ...

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 ...
