The original author of the MD5 password hash algorithm has publicly declared his software end-of-life and is “no longer considered safe” to use on commercial websites. This comes only a day after a ...

Many organizations may not realize it, but a seismic shift is occurring in the data encryption algorithm landscape. Without careful planning, experts say enterprises may find themselves on shaky ...

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 ...

Many organizations have been replacing the MD5 hash algorithm with the SHA-1 hash function, but can the MD5 hash algorithm still be used securely? MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a cryptographic ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

Oracle says that starting with April 18, 2017, Java (JRE) will treat all JAR files signed with the MD5 algorithm as unsigned, meaning they'll be considered insecure and blocked from running. Oracle ...

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 ...

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 ...

The MD5 algorithm has a new vulnerability: Google! Here’s a piece of news that will worry anyone interested in security (which should be pretty much everyone who reads Network World): A programmer by ...
