--------------------------
Component/s: Hive
> Use strong hashing as security improvement
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-17226
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17226
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Hive
> Reporter: Tao Li
> Assignee: Tao Li
>
> There have been 2 places identified where weak hashing needs to be replaced
> by SHA256.
> 1. CookieSigner.java uses MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA"). Mostly SHA is
> mapped to SHA-1, which is not secure enough according to today's standards.
> We should use SHA-256 instead.
> 2. GenericUDFMaskHash.java uses DigestUtils.md5Hex. MD5 is considered weak
> and should be replaced by DigestUtils.sha256Hex.
