Talk:Cryptography/Hashes

merge
I suggest merging Cryptography/Hash function into Cryptography/Hashes.

As far as I can tell, the "qualities of a good hash function" and the "properties of a secure hash" are (or should be) the same.

You may be able to convince me that we need two chapters in the book: One overview describing hashes in general in the "Fundamental Concepts" section of the book. Another comparing-and-contrasting today's popular hashes in the "Contemporary Ciphers" section of the book. --DavidCary (discuss • contribs) 14:56, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
