Frequently Asked Questions

What is SHA-1?

SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit digest.

Is SHA-1 still secure?

No. SHA-1 is vulnerable to practical collision attacks and is deprecated for digital signatures and certificates.

Why is SHA-1 still supported?

Some older systems and file repositories still publish SHA-1 values for compatibility.
