Note that SHA/MD5 produce non-reversible cryptographic hashes. Hash functions aren't directly applicable to the stated requirement to encrypt sensitive data, nor is the previously mentioned thread. This is not to say that it's not reasonable to ask for encryption functions, just that they're not quite the same thing.

The documents may be transferred via intermediary parties (which may need to examine them) before reaching their destination. MD5 is the only built-in cryptographic hash function that I am aware of in the MarkLogic XQuery APIs. Wayne Feick has previously expressed the possibility of exposing SHA-1/SHA-2 to XQuery APIs (http://markmail.org/message/vqsnk72th6vtytd5). Any updates on this? Any other thoughts on supporting content-level encryption?
