Tach!

Aktueller Stand der Hash-kollisionsdingsbums:

<http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/archives/000664.html>

"One of the Chinese authors (Wang, Feng, Lai, and Yu) reported a
family of collisions in MD5 (fixing the previous bug in their
analysis), and also reported that their method can efficiently (2^40
hash steps) find a collision in SHA-0. This speaker received a
standing ovation, from at least part of the audience, at the end of
her talk."

"Eli Biham announced new results in cryptanalyzing SHA-1, including a
collision in a reduced-round version of SHA-1. The full SHA-1
algorithm does 80 rounds of scrambling. At present, Biham and Chen
can break versions of SHA-1 that use up to about 40 rounds, and they
seem confident that their attacks can be extended to more rounds.
This is a significant advance, but it's well short of the dramatic
full break that was rumored."

Fazit: MD-5 ist gepl�ttet (Hach was freue ich mich schon auf die
Updaterei bei diversen *nix-kisten die das f�r Passw�rter
verwenden...), SHA-1 lebt noch.

Every cloud has a silver lining (except for the mushroom shaped ones,
which have
a lining of Iridium & Strontium 90)
