Hello,
I asked a coworker (she's a cryptographer) about this, and she said that
output of SHA-1 is random enough that it should not exhibit any
noticeable trait in its result even if we fed it with inputs that
all exhibit a common trait (e.g. domain names).
Assuming this uniformity, the probabili

Hi,
At the risk of triggering another firestorm of pro/con debate, is
there any reason why the centrally assigned Global ID defined by
hinden-ipv6-global-local-addr-02.txt could not be simply the low-order 40
bits of a SHA hash of a domain name? i.e. if you own the domain name, you
get the
