[REBOL] checksum/secure
From: allen::rebolforces::com at: 30-Aug-2000 10:44
Hi REBOL's,
checksum/secure was added in core v2.3, but wasn't documented in the release
notes. So for all those curious about it, here are some notes from Bo.
;---------
CHECKSUM/SECURE is based on SHA1. MD5 is no longer considered to be
completely secure and SHA1 is the successor. Here is the REBOL-
computed probability of two documents getting the same checksum:
>> 1 / (2 ** 160)
== 6.84227765783602E-49
In other words, it's much more likely that you would win the US lottery
jackpot numerous times.
;---------
Cheers,
Allen K
