It is used for producing hash “digests” which are each 40 hexadecimal characters long and these digests are meant to be distinct for every message, file and function that uses them.

Microsoft plans to stop trusting Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) certificates next month for 'all major Microsoft processes and services,' according to a Wednesday announcement.

Two open-source Secure Shell libraries have pulled support for the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1), used for the past 20 years to verify the integrity of software, digital signatures and other ...

The current NIST federal hash standards include variations of the Secure Hash Algorithm, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512.

Maxim’s DS2477 secure co-processor is intended to protect industrial, medical and IoT applications with authentication and physical security. “It is a secure I2C co-processor with built-in 1-Wire ...

Much more than encryption algorithms, one-way hash functions are the workhorses of modern cryptography. Ron Rivest invented the MD4 and MD5 hash functions in the early 1990s.

This shows that the algorithm’s use for security-sensitive functions should be discontinued as soon as possible. SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be ...
