    SHA-1 Collisions Research

    Today, a group of eight researchers from across the security industry released a research report on SHA-1 that demonstrates for the first time, a “hash collision” for the full SHA-1 hash algorithm (called “SHAttered”). This is a significant step toward understanding this type of security issue...
