Hi REBOL's,

checksum/secure was added in core v2.3, but wasn't documented in the release
notes. So for all those curious about it, here are some notes from Bo.

;---------
CHECKSUM/SECURE is based on SHA1.  MD5 is no longer considered to be
completely secure and SHA1 is the successor.  Here is the REBOL-
computed probability of two documents getting the same checksum:

    >> 1 / (2 ** 160)
    == 6.84227765783602E-49

In other words, it's much more likely that you would win the US lottery
jackpot numerous times.
;---------

Cheers,

Allen K
