In general, unless you're specifically tailoring input to produce collisions, collision risk of a (formerly, in case of md5 and by now also sha1) cryptographically secure hash function is not ...

The details of the collision attack used by the Flame malware authors to create a forged code-signing certificate for Microsoft code are beginning to emerge, and the company said that the attackers ...

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 ...

If you thought MD5 was banished from HTTPS encryption, you’d be wrong. It turns out the fatally weak cryptographic hash function, along with its only slightly stronger SHA1 cousin, are still widely ...

At the 25th Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) today, researchers will reveal how they utilized a collision attack against the MD5 algorithm to create a rogue certificate authority. This is pretty big ...

Researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, the Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Berkeley among others used the machines to create a rogue ...

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 ...

A powerful digital certificate that can be used to forge the identity of any website on the internet is in the hands of in international band of security researchers, thanks to a sophisticated attack ...
