I reckon that by saying "how good 128 bits MD5 hashes were" you are aware of the recent attacks that make MD5's effective security less than 128-bit. The Wikipedia has a good summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 Cheers, Dario Teixeira _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
