What is your take on SHA1 being recently broken by Chinese researchers?


My take would be like this - 'when I win a lottery I should no more be buying Bentleys with gold plated door handles, because they tend to get cold in a winter time'. Ie it's not a yet problem worth worrying about.

Besides in a network crypto SHA1 is not used by itself, it is normally
used in conjunction with HMAC and they yet to analyze if this collision
attack can be extended to HMAC-SHA1.
