John M Camara added the comment: How about using a secure hash algorithm that's implemented in HW when available. It doesn't eliminate the issue on systems that lack this support but at least it limits the scope of the problem.
Of course some testing would need to be done to make sure the hardware hashing doesn't have a significant impact on performance. ---------- nosy: +camara _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
