Abstract Abstract
The MD5 and SHA-1 hashing algorithms are steadily weakening in The MD5 and SHA-1 hashing algorithms are increasingly vulnerable to
strength and their deprecation process should begin for their use in attack and this document deprecates their use in TLS 1.2 digital
TLS 1.2 digital signatures. However, this document does not signatures. However, this document does not deprecate SHA-1 in HMAC
deprecate SHA-1 in HMAC for record protection. This document updates for record protection. This document updates RFC 5246 and RFC 7525.

The usage of MD5 and SHA-1 for signature hashing in TLS 1.2 is The usage of MD5 and SHA-1 for signature hashing in TLS 1.2 is
specified in [RFC5246]. MD5 and SHA-1 have been proven to be specified in [RFC5246]. MD5 and SHA-1 have been proven to be
insecure, subject to collision attacks [Wang]. In 2011, [RFC6151] insecure, subject to collision attacks [Wang]. In 2011, [RFC6151]
