Thanks for the link, Sam. I know I had read that awhile back as well. I think for most applications SHA1 will be fine for awhile (esp. when used with a salt). I've used MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 in various applications, with rijndael-256 (AES) in one. As long as you're not storing sensitive data you're fine. I don't think prof. Wang Xiaoyun is that interested in getting into your blog.
