The previous discussions on this resulted in us going with std.hash.md5, std.hash.sha1, and std.hash.crc32. I don't see any reason to change that, and crypto was specifically _not_ chosen, because crc32 isn't cryptographically sound. But std.hash encompasses things quite nicely, since they're all hashes. - Jonathan M Davis
