Time´s up for SHA-1 hash algo, but one in five websites still use it

Crypto-World - news 08.03.2017 16:01 Google, Microsoft and Mozilla say they won´t trust anyone who hasn´t migrated. One in five websites are still using certificates signed with the vulnerable SHA-1 hash algorithm, according to a new survey. Reliance on the obsolete hashing technology leaves companies at greater risk of security breaches and compliance problems, certificate management firm Venafi warns. Venafi´s latest study shows there has been improvement since November 2016, when a third of websites were still using SHA-1.
