In this episode of eSpeaks, Jennifer Margles, Director of Product Management at BMC Software, discusses the transition from traditional job scheduling to the era of the autonomous enterprise. eSpeaks’ ...

The SHA-1 algorithm, one of the first widely used methods of protecting electronic information, has reached the end of its useful life, according to security experts at the National Institute of ...

Rest-in-Peace SHA-1. Like all security controls, they are only valuable for a certain period of time. SHA-1, a legacy hashing algorithm once used heavily in secure web browsing, has outlived its ...

A replacement for one of the most-used algorithms in computer security has finally been chosen after a competition between cryptographers that ran for five years. The competition was designed to ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology retired one of the first widely used cryptographic algorithms, citing vulnerabilities that make further use inadvisable, Thursday. NIST recommended ...

At the Crypto 2004 conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., this week, researchers announced several weaknesses in common hash functions. These results, while mathematically significant, aren’t cause for ...

The PKI industry recommends that every SHA-1 enabled PKI move to the vastly more secure SHA-2. Here's why and how. For the past two years, I’ve been busy helping Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) ...

Researchers say the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, still used to sign almost one in three SSL certificates, should be urgently retired Researchers have found a new way to attack the SHA-1 hashing algorithm, ...
