Hi all,

It’s been flagged up off-list that given SHA-1 is being deprecated, we should probably look to replace it with SHA-256 in 6824bis. Even though we use truncations of these hashes, the benefits gained from SHA-256 are maybe not significant, but does mean that legacy SHA-1 code would not be required by implementors.

Does anyone have any concerns about such a change? We do not believe it would be significant and could be a direct drop-in in the places where SHA-1 is referenced and used today.

Regards,
Alan
