Run SHA-1 Collision Search Graz only on computers that you own, or for which you have obtained the owner's permission. Some companies and schools have policies that prohibit using their computers for projects such as SHA-1 Collision Search Graz
When you run SHA-1 Collision Search Graz on your computer, it will use part of the computer's CPU power, disk space, and network bandwidth. You can control how much of your resources are used by SHA-1 Collision Search Graz, and when it uses them.
The work done by your computer contributes to the goals of SHA-1 Collision Search Graz, as described on its web site. The application programs may change from time to time.
Your account on SHA-1 Collision Search Graz is identified by a name that you choose. This name may be shown on the SHA-1 Collision Search Graz web site, along with a summary of the work your computer has done for SHA-1 Collision Search Graz. If you want to be anonymous, choose a name that doesn't reveal your identity.
If you participate in SHA-1 Collision Search Graz, information about your computer (such as its processor type, amount of memory, etc.) will be recorded by SHA-1 Collision Search Graz and used to decide what type of work to assign to your computer. This information will also be shown on SHA-1 Collision Search Graz's web site. Nothing that reveals your computer's location (e.g. its domain name or network address) will be shown.
To participate in SHA-1 Collision Search Graz, you must give an address where you receive email. This address will not be shown on the SHA-1 Collision Search Graz web site or shared with organizations. SHA-1 Collision Search Graz may send you periodic newsletters; however, you can opt out at any time.
Any time you download a program through the Internet you are taking a chance: the program might have dangerous errors, or the download server might have been hacked. SHA-1 Collision Search Graz has made efforts to minimize these risks. We have tested our applications carefully. Our servers are behind a firewall and are configured for high security. To ensure the integrity of program downloads, all executable files are digitally signed on a secure computer not connected to the Internet.
The applications run by SHA-1 Collision Search Graz may cause some computers to overheat. If this happens, stop running SHA-1 Collision Search Graz or use a utility program that limits CPU usage.
SHA-1 Collision Search Graz was developed by IAIK@TU-Graz. BOINC was developed at the University of California.
SHA-1 Collision Search Graz and IAIK@TU-Graz assume no liability for damage to your computer, loss of data, or any other event or condition that may occur as a result of participating in SHA-1 Collision Search Graz.
Other projects use the same platform, BOINC, as SHA-1 Collision Search Graz. You may want to consider participating in one or more of these projects. By doing so, your computer will do useful work even when SHA-1 Collision Search Graz has no work available for it.
These other projects are not associated with SHA-1 Collision Search Graz, and we cannot vouch for their security practices or the nature of their research. Join them at your own risk.
