tromfil Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Bun de citit.Something like 90% of websites that use SSL encryption — [green lock] — use an algorithm called SHA-1 to protect themselves from being impersonated. This guarantees that when you go to [green lock for facebook.com] , you're visiting the real Facebook and not giving your password to an attacker.Unfortunately, SHA-1 is dangerously weak, and has been for a long time. It gets weaker every year, but remains widely used on the internet. Its replacement, SHA-2, is strong and supported just about everywhere.https://konklone.com/post/why-google-is-hurrying-the-web-to-kill-sha-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
