I don't know of anything like that. As Michael points out, key Lengths by themselves are not always a good indicator of relative stength.

BTW, JSSE hard-codes the choices.

Hi Andrew

I need a method

boolean isWeakerThan(String a1, String a2)

so that isWeakerThan("MD5", "SHA1") returns true and
isWeakerThan("SHA-256", "SHA1") returns false. I know you have done a
lot of constraints works in JDK 7. Do you have an existing one?
Otherwise, I plan to manually assign a value to each known algorithm and
compare it.

Thanks
Max
