PGP Moving To Stronger SHA Algorithms

Posted by timothy on from the 511-upmanship dept.

PGP Corp. is moving to a stronger SHA Algorithm (SHA-256 and SHA-512) as consequence of the research conducted by the team at Shandong University in China who broke the SHA-1 algorithm. (See this earlier story for more information on the SHA-1 vulnerability.)

    I think I'll wait for the SHA-65000 algorithm instead.. it'll be harder to crack.
