"Schneier’s analysis concludes that finding a SHA-1 collision would cost approximately $700,000 USD by 2015, $173,000 USD by 2018, and $43,000 USD by 2021. These numbers are considered within the range of an organized crime syndicate in 2018, and a university project by 2021."
I'd like to know where the organized crime syndicate budget numbers came from

- ObviousScience 12y agoThat criminals can't afford it when it's ~4x the price seems incredibly suspicious. Maybe it's not worth their money now, but I'm skeptical that having to pony up ~4x the money is going to stop an organized crime syndicate from being in striking range of a collision. It's already in the range of many mid-sized companies at that price point.
