1) There were some very interesting questions such as
-- whether one can construct a hash function that
generates all possible codes.
-- ditto, generating them as uniformly as possible.
-- Whether off-the-shelf hash functions such as SHA-1
have such properties.
The answers are

a great thing, a really good substitute for law, much more
