on a more serious note... do we want MD5?



On a more serious note, as I stated in the security issues section of
the MD5 draft, there has been some progress of late on the cracking of
MD5. Its still rudimentary, but it has been made. Given that there are
legitimate cryptographic concerns about MD5 itself, should we be
looking at SHA (mark 2 :-) as the mandatory base transform rather than
MD5?
