cryptography - Reasons why SHA512 is superior to MD5 -


I was thinking that I can tell the reason for the resources or link to why SHA512 MD5 has a better hashing algorithm .

It depends on your usage case. You can not claim "superiority" broadly (I mean, yes, you can do in some cases, but being tough about it, you can not really do it).

But there are areas where MD5 is broken:

  1. For starters: MD5 is old, and commonplace there are lots of rainbow tables against it, and they It's easy to meet. So if you have a Hashing password (without salt - you negligence!) - using MD5 - you can not even get them, they are so easy to find, even if you are actually using simple salt Arehash with Second closed, MD5 is no longer safe as a cryptographic hash function (in fact, cryptographic hash functions are not considered as Forked One). You can generate different messages of hash for the same value. So if you have got an SSL certificate with an MD5 hash, then I can prepare a duplicate certificate which says what I want, which produces. What do people usually mean when they say that the MD5 is 'broken' - such things?
  2. Third, similar to the message, you can also generate different files , hence file checksum using MD5 is 'broken'.

Now, SHA-512 is a hash algorithm. SHA-1 is considered 'eh' these days, I will ignore it though SHA-2 is in relatively lesser attacks against it. The main thing of a Wikipedia is that it means that if you use SHA-512 incorrectly, then I can break it. Naturally you are not using it in this way, but the attacks are better only, and in further research to break the SDA-512, this is a good football board, just as the MD5 has broken.

However, out of the available hash functions, the SHA-2 family is currently the strongest, and the best option to consider commonality, analysis and security. (But not required speed. If you are in an embedded system, then you have to do a complete analysis.)
