Hmm, after sending this to some of you I remembered this list :-)
Just a quick thought, I noticed the other day that rsync uses a
rolling MD4 hash or something like that to detect changes in a
window of data.
I wonder if A/V shouldn't use something similar?
I assume MD4 is an outdated

What's A/V?
I assume MD4 is an outdated choice - perhaps some cryppie needs to
design a hash function that is specifically designed for a FIFO kind
of window?
Dear Paul Crowley:
How about the Compact Representation, section 4.2, of RFC 6090:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6090.txt
Is that the same point compression that you were looking for?

A quick look around should tell you that it uses a rolling checksum
