Weaknes of this aproach doesn't lie in hashing function, so whether md5, sha-1 or sha-256 will be used it makes no difference 2009/11/9 André Gasser <andre.gasser () gmx ch>:
Hi, From a security perspective I would use SHA-256 since both, SHA-1 and MD5 should not be considered "secure" these days. In this case, where you are just generating a license file, computing time should not be an issue... just my 0.02 andré Shreyas Zare wrote:
