Running Head: “Best Use of MD5 or SHA1”1Best Use of MD5 or SHA1Network SecurityOscar CarranzaKeller Graduate School of ManagementProfessor:Charles PakDiscuss the strengths and weaknesses of using MD5 as a hashing algorithm. In your response,explain its best use invalidating file integrity and its vulnerabilities, especially in the context ofsecurity threats like collision attacks. Additionally, provide an example of how an attacker mightexploit MD5 weaknesses in a real-world scenario, and suggest alternative hashing algorithmsthat could offer better security.Word Count Requirement:500-600 words.
