SHA-1 crypto algorithm is dead by collision attack
The SHA-1 cryptographic hash function is dead. A 24-year-old security mechanism still in wide use around the internet today, the NSA-developed cryptographic algorithm was finally proven to be broken this week by a team of Dutch cryptographers and Google researchers who published their work at shattered.io. The researchers showed how to “collide” two different files but come out with […]

SHAttered — SHA-1 is broken
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 power as 6,500 years of single-CPU computations and 110 years of single-GPU computations. While this may seem overwhelming, this is a practical attack if you are, lets say, a state-sponsored attacker. Or if you control a large enough botnet. Or if you are just able to spend some serious money on cloud computing. It’s doable. Make no mistake, this is not a brute-force attack, that would take around 12,000,000 single-GPU years to complete. …read more

SHA-1 End Times Have Arrived
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. Continue reading SHA-1 End Times Have Arrived
