Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Secure hash or cryptographic hash is the correct term and I think we
should leave that in, if only to make the original intent clear and to
make them easier to search for.

I propose adding a sentence to the first paragraph noting that the level
of security varies by algorithm and that over time some of the
algorithms are being found to have possible cryptographic weaknesses or
exploits.
