Hello all. I'm new to the list; hope I can be helpful some day. But first a question: I'm toying around with various protocols for key exchange, and I wonder, if an attacker intercepted the result of the following operation: md5(x) + md5(x + y + z) (the +'s mean concatenation) and the attacker already knew: 1. the nature of the operation 2. x 3. z Could s/he compute y? Thanks. -Andrew
