Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-1571 Support a modern hashing algorithm like bcrypt as a password level.

Weak SHA-1 password hashing vulnerability. Merged

We are going through internal risk assessments and an external PCI assessment. In the discussions with the assessors, we will definitely have findings that deal with the current weak IBM i password SHA-1 hashing algorithm. It has been suggested that something such as SHA3-3 or higher be implemented. SHA-1 hashing has not been considered a secure hash since 2005.


Use Case:

Security enhancement to get the IBM i operating system compliant with current industry standards for password hashing.

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/apis/qc3calha.htm supports SHA-512 which is still considered safe but I agree that IBM should follow security standards more quickly.
