SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR OUTPUTTING ALERTS TO INDICATE THE USE OF A WEAK HASH FUNCTION

Systems, devices, and methods for outputting an alert on a mobile device to indicate the use of a weak hash function are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, the method comprises receiving data (e.g. from a server) that identifies at least one first hash function, identifying a hash digest generated using a second hash function, determining if the second hash function is weak using the received data, and outputting an alert indicating that the second hash function is weak if it is determined that the second hash function is weak.
