Descriptions

The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm is not collision resistant, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to conduct spoofing attacks, as demonstrated by attacks on the use of MD5 in the signature algorithm of an X.509 certificate.

El algoritmo MD5 Message-Digest no resistente a colisión, el cual hace más fácil para atacantes dependientes de contexto, llevar a cabo ataques de suplantación, como lo demuestran los ataques de utilización de MD5 en la firma del algoritmo de un certificado X.509.
