The library I'm using doesn't have it and Applied Cryptography dedicates 6.5 lines to it with no algorithm. SHA I have. Okay, so the various MDs are going to be included only for compatibility with old software. But, I still need to support them. This is probably opening a pandora's box, but which should I use by default, SHA or RIPE-MD? Is one better than the other, does one or the other have nasty patents or weird export controls? -Dave drig@magicweb.com I got a coffee mug from Cray Research when they moved out. Now I can drink my coffee while doing 63 other, unrelated tasks.
