Helion have available a number of solutions which implement the MD5 algorithm; we consider the "Fast" version ... stand-alone hardware acceleration of the arithmetically intensive hashing function.

and many CAs have since migrated to the more robust SHA-1 algorithm. But while the MD5 hashing function has over time become obsolete, it is still used by a few CAs and accepted by all Web browsers.

This attack is possible because of a flaw in MD5. MD5 is a hashing algorithm; each unique file has a unique hash. In 2004, a team of Chinese researchers demonstrated creating two different files ...

The EIP-57 is the IP for accelerating the various secure hash integrity algorithms like MD5 (RFC1231), SHA-1 (FIPS-180-2), SHA-2 (FIPS-180-3/4) and SHA-3 (FIPS-202), supporting the NIST MAC mode.

The MD5 hashing algorithm, which is commonly thought to be weak, accounted for a small number of spilled credentials (0.4 per cent), even when the hashes were salted. Organisations are also ...
