>My favourite hash (personal view, not GNUMed teams view yet) at
present is RIPEMD-160, which is _much_ stronger than MD5 but still
fast enough. It is open sourced and royalty free (Read more on

Looks good to me.
Looing at the GNU Privacy Guard, GNUPG or gpg, which I have on a Linux
server here, it offers that as one of the hashes.
It seems to be fairly straightforward, although it is going to take a
bit of Python to make it as easy to use as PGP with Outlook Express,
but it seems likely to be more stable from the outset.
