This is a great topic where there are lots of pros and cons. The CW

Hal:
Thanks for the news about the planned NIST-sponsored hash function
competition. I'm glad to hear that it is in the works.
Yesterday I profiled my on-line data backup application [1] and
discovered that for certain operations one third of the time is spent in
SHA-1. For that reason, I'
