Those talk about the hash functions generally, but they do not really address the question specifically *as such functions are actually employed by some number of IETF protocols*. (And just to be clear, I'm thinking quite broadly -- well beyond the narrow realm of hashes as used by certificates.) A collision attack on some hash function f() might or might not be an issue if f() is used in any of several different modes, for example. > Unfortunately, the ways cryptologists look at these things and the > ways the IETF uses them are not always the same, so there is more work > to do. Right. What I was asking for, specifically, was analysis that considered the various ways that various IETF protocols actually use them -- not abstract concerns that might or might not relate to the way they are actually used by various IETF protocols. ("ways" means not just deployment model, but also the mode of operation). One could easily imagine, for example, that some uses of these algorithms might be viewed as entirely fine, with other uses being clearly unsuitable, with a wide range of possibilities in between those two extremes. It is this specific analysis that is missing, needed, and would be most valuable to various IETF WGs -- if available in a public document (ideally an Informational RFC, developed jointly as a public group effort, such as by the IRTF CFRG, and including full references to the public literature). My apologies for somehow being unclear in my earlier note.
