Cryptographers Demonstrate Collision in Popular SHA-1 Algorithm
On February 23rd, a joint team from the CWI Amsterdam and Google announced that they had generated the first ever collision in the SHA-1 cryptographic hashing algorithm.

In addition to being a powerful Proof of Concept (POC), the computing power th
