    Just got a pointer to this via ACM "TechNews Alert" for today:

    http://www.acm.org/technews/articles/2004-6/0818w.html#item2

    Seems that "... French computer scientist Antoine Joux reported on
    Aug. 12 his discovery of a flaw in the MD5 algorithm, which is often
    used with digital signatures...."

    There's more in the article cited above.

    Peace,
    david

Evidence of curmudgeonliness:  becoming irritated with the usage of the
word "speed" in contexts referring to quantification of network
performance, as opposed to "bandwidth" or "latency."
