In February complexity to find two different text producing identical SHA-1 hash was reduced from 2^80 to 2^69 rounds. Just a few days ago it was further reduced to 2^63 rounds. Admitted, this is still no "tomorrow all SHA-1 hash using signature are broken and insecure" thing, but I'd say one should not wait with implementing correct behavior when RIPEMD160 is used until SHA-1 was practically broken, and not just theoretically. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v3.60.02 Forerunner (Beta) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2) For a good time, call (415) 642-9483 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.60.02 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
