Google has announced that it has cracked the Secured Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) cryptographic function, marking a milestone that spells both danger and opportunity for the computing world. The ...

Perhaps most importantly, Keccak operates completely unlike the SHA-2 algorithms, meaning that any work that has been done to compromise SHA-2 would not apply to SHA-3, Polk said.

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 ...

SHA-1, whose initials stand for “secure hash algorithm,” has been in use since 1995 as part of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180-1. It is a slightly modified version of SHA, the ...

One issue to keep in mind is that newer algorithms haven't necessarily had the same amount of cryptanalysis as SHA-1 – so may be open to other simpler attacks than that recently exposed for SHA-1.

NIST crowdsources crypto with SHA-3 algorithm competition A contest launched by the National Institute of Standards to determine the … ...
