8 Some additional information regarding some of the algorithms:
12 RSA is public key cryptosystem designed by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir
13 and Leonard Adleman. It can be used with any hash functions.
16 DSA is the USA's Digital Signature Standard. It uses only the SHA-1
20 MD2 is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by Ron Rivest. It is
21 optimized for 8-bit processors. Outputs 128 bits of data. There are
22 several known weaknesses of this algorithm and it should not be used.
25 MD5 is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by Ron Rivest. Outputs
26 128 bits of data. It is considered to be broken.
29 SHA is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by NSA. Outputs 160
30 bits of data. It is also considered to be broken, though no practical
31 attacks have been found.
34 RIPEMD is a cryptographic hash algorithm developed in the framework of
35 the EU project RIPE. Outputs 160 bits of data.
