Rijndael has had theoretical attacks, and is looking a bit shaky, but there isn't anything better, so we will continue to use it. For the moment we will stick with SHA-256 for a hash. Even if Rijndael is secure that doesn't mean Whirlpool is; the requirements are different. > > SM -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
