Since my start in 2008, I've covered a wide variety of topics from space missions to fax service reviews. At PCMag, much of my work focused on security and privacy services, as well as a video game or ...

Jos says that an attacker can create torrent files that have the same overall SHA1 hash, but download different versions of an EXE file, without breaking the SHA1 hashes of the smaller chunks. The ...

It took only one day for the SHA1 collision attack revealed by Google on Thursday to make its first victims after developers of the WebKit browser engine broke their Subversion (SVN) source code ...

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 ...

Researchers unveiled the first-ever practical collision attack the cryptographic hash function SHA-1. Researchers unveiled on Thursday the first practical collision attack for the 22-year old ...

Most cryptography is theoretical research. When it is no longer theoretical, in practice it can become a harmful exploit. Google and Dutch research institute CWI proved that the SHA1 hash method, ...

A recently announced SHA-1 collision attack has the potential to break code repositories that use the Subversion (SVN) revision control system. The first victim was the repository for the WebKit ...

The cryptography world has been buzzing with the news that researchers at Google and CWI Amsterdam have succeeded in successfully generating a 'hash collision' for two different documents using the ...

This morning, security researchers working with Google announced that they have successfully created a technique for engineering a collision using the SHA-1 hash function, potentially endangering ...
