Mountain View, Calif.-based Verisign, a managed security service provider, said that it has immediately discontinued the flawed MD5 cryptographic function used for digital signatures, while offering a ...

The good news is that most CA’s now use SHA-1 as their hash algorithm, but there are still a few CA’s that use MD5. But what I thought was a funny tidbit about the hack is that the researchers ...

The old and insecure MD5 hashing function hasn’t been used to sign SSL/TLS server certificates in many years, but continues to be used in other parts of encrypted communications protocols, including ...

Starting in April, Oracle will treat JAR files signed with the MD5 hashing algorithm as if they were unsigned, which means modern releases of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) will block those JAR ...

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, ...

Microsoft has given customers six months to find MD5 installations and prepare for a February 2014 patch that will block the broken algorithm. The clock is running on Windows administrators to sweep ...

My company has a small team of software developers, who program applications for the business. Nothing too fancy. Sometimes the applications they produce are meant only for system-to-system ...

Are you in any way interested in checking the MD5 hash numbers of files on Windows 11/10 computers? If that’s a yes, then you need the help from a decent enough MD5 Hash Checker. What we’re going to ...

SHA-1 is one of the most prevalent forms of a secure hash algorithm used in the legal and security industry. Now that Professor Xiaoyun Wang and her associates in Tsinghua University and Shandong ...

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 ...
