AWS prescriptive-guidance medium security documentation change
Summary
Removed 'Additional information' section that previously discussed SHA1 hashing security considerations and alternative algorithms
Security assessment
Removal of guidance about SHA1 hashing (a deprecated cryptographic algorithm) and security considerations for sensitive data handling indicates addressing security concerns. SHA1 is known to be cryptographically weak.
