The research is significant because there are at least six CAs currently using the weak MD5 cryptographic algorithm in digital signatures and certificates.

Oracle says that starting with April 18, 2017, Java (JRE) will treat all JAR files signed with the MD5 algorithm as unsigned, meaning they'll be considered insecure and blocked from running.

The MD5 algorithm has a new vulnerability: Google! Here’s a piece of news that will worry anyone interested in security (which should be pretty much everyone who reads Network World): A ...

Microsoft has given customers six months to find MD5 installations and prepare for a February 2014 patch that will block the broken algorithm.

The first significant weakness in the MD5 algorithm was presented in 2004 at the annual cryptology conference "Crypto" by a team of Chinese researchers.

MD5 is widely used in secured communications devices for applications such as keyed authentication, Mittra said. Although there are open-source cores for other encryption algorithms, Pancham, which ...

The algorithm in question, called MD5, is one of the standard choices that programmers use when creating digital signatures. But some research has suggested attacks on MD5 (though those attacks ...

Fatally weak MD5 function torpedoes crypto protections in HTTPS and IPSEC MD5 and its only slightly stronger SHA1 cousin put world on collision course.

Crypto attack that hijacked Windows Update goes mainstream in Amazon Cloud Collision attack against widely used MD5 algorithm took 10 hours, cost just 65 cents.
