Thank you for the knowledgeable reply.

This choice will still render a ton of devices basically e-waste for no real good reason

you're calling the bottom line of hardware manufacturers "no good reason"!

Using broken encryption is quite a decent reason.

>>sofixa+Z9
Definitely not for the actual user of the device.

>>BSEdlM+S7
Well... yes? Hardware can be very much bottom of the barrel and still be perfectly serviceable.

>>sofixa+Z9
SHA1 is not for encryption, it is a signature algorithm.

It is considered broken because there is a faster way than simple brute force to create a collision. The currently know approach is still computationally expensive.

It is correct to call it broken, but I don't see the implications for TMP at all. TPM is shitty tech in the first place in my opinion, but aside from that there is little practical relevance.
