And how secure is the hash? It it possible to create values that will hash to each prime (or something else that does the job)? Is the hash something we can figure a way to precompute using massively parallel processing so that we can then provide a set of codes which will produce the desired results? (etc.)
Perhaps you should consider learning something about cryptography before you cast aspersions on someone else's cryptographic protocols. To date, MD5 appears to be a secure hash. If you manage to find a way to reverse it, please let us all know. -- Sure we spend a lot of money, but that doesn't mean | Tom Weinstein we *do* anything. -- Washington DC motto | tomw@engr.sgi.com
