It is really being driven home to me how important a cryptographic hash 
is to a total security solution.  Trying to design around this is really 
hard!

So since the argument for not using a hash is the code cost, can anyone 
supply me with a good value for the amount of code (in Kb) for SHA-1?  
For SHA-256?

Thank you.
