Microsoft's SHA-1 Deprecation Begins with Windows 10 Anniversary Update

The home stretch of Microsoft’s planned SHA-1 deprecation schedule has arrived. This summer, with the planned release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, users should see signs that the weak cryptographic hash function is being phased out. Microsoft said that once the anniversary update is roll...

CVE-2 0 1 6-1 4 9 4 (python – rsa)vulnerability details-vulnerability warning-the black bar safety net

0×0 1 Overview CVE-2 0 1 6-1 4 9 4 vulnerability is about the Python-rsa signature forgery. In certain cases, can be forged a python rsa library to generate the signature information. But the premise needs an RSA public key exponent value e is small, the following are to e=3 discussion. A digital...

New Relic: APT repository is signed using weak digest (SHA-1)

When installing New Relic on a new Ubuntu 16.04 xenial machine to test out the beta, I noticed this warning: W: gpgv:/var/lib/apt/lists/apt.newrelic.comdebiandistsnewrelicRelease.gpg: The repository is insufficiently signed by key B60A3EC9BC013B9C23790EC8B31B29E5548C16BF weak digest This...

botan: multiple issues

CVE-2016-2849 ECDSA side channel: ECDSA and DSA signature algorithms perform a modular inverse on the signature nonce k. The modular inverse algorithm used had input dependent loops, and it is possible a side channel attack could recover sufficient information about the nonce to eventually...

MS KB3123479: Deprecation of SHA-1 Hashing Algorithm for Microsoft Root Certificate Program

The remote Windows host is missing Microsoft KB3123479, an update that restricts the use of certificates with SHA1 hashes, this restriction being limited to certificates issued under roots in the Microsoft root certificate program. This update increases the difficulty of carrying out some spoofin...

Mozilla Warns of SHA-1 Deprecation Side Effects

As promised, Mozilla officially began rejecting new SHA-1 certificates as of the first of the year. And as promised, there have been some usability issues. Mozilla yesterday said that some security scanners and antivirus products are keeping some from reaching HTTPS websites. “When a user tries t...

SLOTH Collisions Attacks Against SHA-1, MD5 in TLS, IKE, SSH

If you’re hanging on to the theory that collision attacks against SHA-1 and MD5 aren’t yet practical, two researchers from INRIA, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation, have demonstrated new attacks that raise the urgency to move away from these broken cryptographic...

Google SHA-1 Deprecation

Google has announced its timeline for deprecating SHA-1 certificates, despite concerns expressed recently that sunsetting the broken encryption hashing algorithm will disconnect millions from the Internet. SHA-1’s demise has been accelerated in recent months since researchers published a paper...

Microsoft Considers Earlier SHA-1 Deprecation Deadline

Tech companies continue to back away from SHA-1 like it’s an infectious disease. Microsoft, which already had plans to deprecate the crusty cryptographic algorithm by the start of 2017, decided this week to move up that deadline six months. The company said it’s considering whether it will start...

Mike Mimoso and Chris Brook Discuss how the a Campaign Using the Angler Exploit Kit was Disrupted and More of the Week's News

Mike Mimoso and Chris Brook discuss the week in news–including how researchers disrupted a $30M campaign using the Angler Exploit Kit, how another researcher was forced to pull a talk from a conference, and how a practical SHA-1 collision could be months away, not years. Download:...

Practical SHA-1 Collision Attack Months Away

When Bruce Schneier made his oft-cited and mathematically sound projections about the life expectancy of the SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm, he didn’t think he was being conservative. “I thought I was being accurate given the information I had at the time,” Schneier said on Thursday. Schneier in...

Collision Attack: Widely Used SHA-1 Hash Algorithm Needs to Die Immediately

SHA-1 – one of the Internet's widely adopted cryptographic hash function – is Just about to Die. Yes, the cost and time required to break the SHA1 algorithm have fallen much faster than previously expected. According to a team of researchers, SHA-1 is so weak that it may be broken and compromised...

SSL Certificate Signed Using SHA-1 Algorithm

The remote service uses an SSL certificate chain that has been signed with SHA-1, a cryptographically weak hashing algorithm. This signature algorithm is known to be vulnerable to collision attacks. An attacker can potentially exploit this to generate another certificate with the same digital...
