Ug...yes that is a problem. What if you searched for a 64 bit hash and ran
*that* on your RSA digital signature? Then you'd convert your digital
signature to a tiny password of 16 hex digits.
It isn't a problem at all, just use the low 20-bits of the hash, and
print it in decimal. See my other message which explains why it
increases security rather than decreases it to use a shortened version
of the hash.
