At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., this week, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren’t cause for ...

Researchers have demonstrated new collision attacks against SHA-1 and MD5 implementations in TLS, IKE and SSH. If you’re hanging on to the theory that collision attacks against SHA-1 and MD5 aren’t ...

Okay I admit it, sometimes I’ve been guilty of using the MD5 hashing algorithm in my code simply because it’s easily available in Java, it’s convenient and familiar, and I implicitly trust it. (Jeez, ...

SHA1, one of the Internet’s most crucial cryptographic algorithms, is so weak to a newly refined attack that it may be broken by real-world hackers in the next three months, an international team of ...

A widely used cryptographic algorithm used to secure sensitive websites, software, and corporate servers is weak enough that well-financed criminals could crack it in the next six years, a ...

Generating checksums—cryptographic hashes such as MD5 or SHA-256 functions for files is hardly anything new and one of the most efficient means to ascertain the integrity of a file, or to check if two ...

This is a high performance, small footprint HASH IP Core. It supports three HASH algorithms: MD5, SHA1, SHA256. A S/G DMA engine keeps the core runni ...

Security pros often ask about the weaknesses of the Message-Digest version 5 algorithm (MD5) and whether it should still be used. MD5 is a cryptographic one-way hash function that produces a value ...
