Security experts are warning that a security flaw has been found in a powerful data encryption algorithm, dubbed SHA-1, by a team of scientists from Shandong University in China. The three scientists ...
Less than two months after a ban came into effect for new SSL/TLS certificates signed with the weak SHA-1 hashing algorithm, exemptions are already starting to take shape. Mozilla announced Wednesday ...
The NSA is taking a public shellacking online over its domestic communication monitoring systems that recently were revealed by leaker Edward Snowden. The Internet furor over the NSA is somewhat ...
Abstract: Challenge-and-response authentication requires a MAC originator and a MAC recipient to compute a message authentication code based on a hidden secret and public data. The originator is ...
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the DS28CN01, a new highly integrated secure memory device. The DS28CN01 provides bidirectional challenge-and-response authentication protection by using the ...
Security researchers have achieved the first real-world collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function, producing two different PDF files with the same SHA-1 signature. This shows that the algorithm ...
In light of recent advances in attacks against the SHA-1 cryptographic function, Mozilla is considering banning digital certificates signed with the algorithm sooner than expected. The CA/Browser ...
The SHA-1 collision attack unveiled on Thursday has claimed its first victim, with the version control system used by the WebKit browser engine becoming corrupted after the two proof-of-concept PDF ...
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 ...
