A function is either one-way or it is symmetric - it can't possibly be both at the same time.

Hash functions don't use keys. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
