Brian Warner	c049941529	move almost all hashing to SHA256, consolidate into hashutil.py ... The only SHA-1 hash that remains is used in the permutation of nodeids, where we need to decide if we care about performance or long-term security. I suspect that we could use a much weaker hash (and faster) hash for this purpose. In the long run, we'll be doing thousands of such hashes for each file uploaded or downloaded (one per known peer).	2007-06-07 21:47:21 -07:00
Zooko O'Whielacronx	99a046ab51	hashutil: convenience methods for tagged and encoded hashes ... In various cases, including Merkle Trees, it is useful to tag and encode the inputs to your secure hashes to prevent security flaws due to ambiguous meanings of hash values.	2007-03-29 18:11:30 -07:00
