In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...
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 ...
Industry experts agree that the future of two widely used securityalgorithms is fated, but with no clear alternatives in sight, productsthat rely on them may have to remain “good enough” for some time ...
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 ...
Some of the projects that use MD5 as the default method for storing user passwords include WordPress, osCommerce, SuiteCRM, miniBB, SugarCRM, CMS Made Simple, MantisBT, Phorum, Observium, and X3cms.
