RIP SHA-1

Bruce Schneier writes "SHA-1 has been broken. Not a reduced-round version. Not a simplified version. The real thing.".


Previous rumors about SHA problems this past August were less critical, there were also reports of hash collisions in MD4, MD5, HAVAL-128 and RIPEMD in August; this new paper seems to be from some of the same researchers.


Time to move everything into RIPEMD-160?
