HMAC security - Is the security of the HMAC based on SHA-1 affected by the collisions attacks on SHA-1?
问题 Is the security of the HMAC based on SHA-1 affected by the collisions attacks on SHA-1? 回答1: The security implications of HMAC are described in detail in the security section of the RFC. In a nutshell, a very strong attack indeed is required before the security of the HMAC is threatened; the existing collision attacks on SHA-1 certainly don't constitute such. HMAC is specifically designed to make attacks difficult, and ordinary collision attacks won't generally suffice: The security of the
