Nope, we should use standard names. SHA-2 256 was the first SHA algo to use 256 bits, thus it's commonly referred to as sha256 across the board in multiple pieces of software. SHA-3 family of hashes started to have the same length and thus will be known as sha3-256 etc. Shorthand variant names in this table here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1#Comparison_of_SHA_functions appear to me how SHA hashes are currently referred as. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
