• Collision Attacks
  • Here I would list all papers that deal with SHA-1. We should also give the abstract and the bibtex entry for the corresponding paper. Additionall we should give our opinion about the attack described in the paper.

• Second Preimage Attacks
  • There exists a generic attack (works for all iterated hash functions). See ....

• Preimage Attacks
  • We are not aware of any article describing preimage attacks on SHA-1.

3 eHash Recommendation (optional) or eHash Opinion

Something like: SHA-1 is considered to be broken. Please do not incorporate SHA-1 in new application any longer. Try to migrate to another hash function.
