Re: Could timestamps be replaced with MD5?

[Jonathan M. Gilligan]

Is a one-way hash such as MD5 really superior to a CRC here? I believe that 
CRC's are substantially cheaper to compute, which could be relevant in the 
case of large projects. The nonrepudiability and resistance to forgery that 
recommend one-way hashes for cryptographic protocols seem kind of 
irrelevant here.

Just MHO.
