Security experts agree that the future of two widely used security algorithms is fated. With no clear alternatives in sight products that rely on them may have to remain good enough for some time. Both SHA-1 and MD5 have been exposed as vulnerable within the past year. Experts say new algorithms won’t emerge for quite a while, but hardware and software will need to be updated with new or enhanced algorithms to replace SHA-2. Users need to migrate to products that use new algorithms, which can take years to achieve.”]
