SHA1 => stdlib ?!

[Oliver Bandel]

Hello,


is it planned, to also include SHA1-Hash into stdlib?


Ciao,

What is the advantage of having SHA-1 in stdlib rather than in cryptokit
for example?

Cryptokit is written by X. Leroy, the same author as OCaml. There is a
debian package for it (apt-get install libcryptokit-ocaml-dev), a Fedora
package and a GODI package.

Fine.  Then I should prefer that stuff. :)

Nice, thank you.

Just installed it.

Easy going. :)

what about technical arguments/reasons instead of fanboyism ?
cryptokit has lots of good things, and some reason to choose them over my
ocaml-sha bindings, but i find the argument you just made pretty distasteful.

This is pure information, no fanboyism intended. Concerning technical
arguments/reasons, I think a simple "it computes SHA1" is the only
argument I can give and it was implied in my answer ;-) Perhaps, it is
also because I use it.

ps: distasteful is a bit strong especially because you took an
information for an argument.

Well, crypotkit is pretty useful and you can easily add your own
implementations to it. Nice framework. I had implemented a
zero-knowledge protocol with it.
