Throwing asside repudation, it still takes is 8 bytes to collide an md5sum, and about 8 and a half bytes to collide a sha1sum... I suggest that anyone that is worried about this problem run the following program: main.c: int main() { unsigned int x,y; for (x = 0; x < 2^32; ++x) for (y = 0; y < 2^32; ++y); return printf("Now you can worry\n"); } -- James Blackwell | Life is made of the stuff that hasn't killed Tell someone a joke! | you yet. - yours truly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG (ID 06357400) AAE4 8C76 58DA 5902 761D 247A 8A55 DA73 0635 7400 _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
