200台PS3可破解安全网页MD5加密算法（The 200 PS3 can crack the secure web MD5 encryption algorithm） 200 ps3s can be used to crack the secure web MD5 encryption algorithm on December 31, 2008 10:04 bitnet ChinaByte News on December 31, 2008, according to foreign media reports, on Tuesday, a joint research team from the United States and Europe 25 c3 security published papers in the conference in Berlin, said they use composed of 200 SONY PlayStation 3 super computing network can successfully crack web digital signature for security of MD5 encryption algorithm, and successfully forged security web digital certificates, which can completely fake security web page. Earlier, the study said the MD5 encryption algorithm would take at least 30 years to crack a desktop PC. Typically, when browsing a web page using a browser, if you see a security lock in the lower left corner of the page, users consider the page to be a secure web page. When the encryption algorithm is cracked, the so-called secure pages may not be safe. As early as four years ago, Chinese researchers pointed out that many MD5 encryption algorithm security vulnerabilities, but according to the computing power, a desktop PC at least 30 years to complete. But a study published on Tuesday showed that the computing network, which consists of SONYs PlayStation 3, can be cracked in just three days. Although the MD5 encryption algorithm is somewhat dated, there are still some sites that use MD5 encryption algorithms for digital signatures, and the verification of this signature can be passed on all browsers. Using MD5 security vulnerabilities, you can build phishing sites that the browser cant find, because the browser will think that the pages that are authenticated through MD5 are secure. As a result, some security researchers believe the impact of the research will be profound, with implications for browsers and even E-mail, chat servers and online collaboration. Security experts said they had notified major browser vendors,
