I was told offlist that (seems) you were refering to Greta Thunberg. I suppose she would blame us all, because we are using cryptographic hash functions for the things where simpler, cheaper and faster specialized integrity check/error detection specialized functions could be used instead. Although something like BLAKE3 is still considered cryptographically secure, its single thread is 12 times faster than SHA256 and scales virtually to any number of threads (uses Merkle tree out of box). -- Sergey Matveev (http://www.stargrave.org/) OpenPGP: CF60 E89A 5923 1E76 E263 6422 AE1A 8109 E498 57EF
