This will make any further use of MD5 very very hard to justify. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin_at_mfn.org 0xBD4A95BF What religion, please tell me, tells you as a follower of that religion to occupy another country and kill its people? Please tell me. Does Christianity tell its followers to do that? Judaism, for that matter? Islam, for that matter? What prophet tells you to send 160,000 troops to another country, kill men, women, and children? You just can't wear your religion on your sleeve or just go to church. You should be truthfully religious.

See http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/Nostradamus if you want to know the details of what this has to do with cryptography. We also announce two different Win32 executables that have identical MD5 hash values. This can be made to happen for any two executable files. This implies a vulnerability in software integrity protection and code signing schemes that still use MD5. See http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/SoftIntCodeSign for details.
