I believe that many of you are all too narrowly linking HASH and whether it is
appropriate for cryptography.
What about particular CRC32 - it produces output value with length just 4 bytes, even
using SHA1 with 20 bytes returned was accepted as security risk in some places (like SRP),
making us move to hashes with longer output. Sean, I do not know under what condition can
it be used as cryptographic hash.
MD5 is not considered as a cryptographic hash any more as well. Shouldn't it to be
removed from hash list...?
