> Note that the hashes are used only for unique data identification and download > verification. This is not security software. This is too sloppy. It should probably read something like: Note that, while there are a feasible collision attacks on MD5, there is no known feasible second-preimage attack. MD5 is thus still considered appropriate for download verification. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2014-08-05 10:45 Nico Schlömer New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
