问题
I am very much new in this cryptography section. I want to raise a question here regarding md5 hashes and whirlpool hashes. So far I have found that md5 can be broken and hence it is not safe to use. I also learned a little bit about whirlpool hashes. Now, my question is "Which one is more secured?" except knowing that md5 can be broken.
One more question, i need to know any applications that use both md5 and whirlpool hashes in their program. It would be really helpful for me if anyone can come forward to share some knowledge.
Cheers
回答1:
the more bits a hash contains, the more secure. MD5 is a 128-bit string, SHA-1 is a 160-bit string and Whirlpool is a 512-bit string. Based on this alone, Whirlpool is clearly superior to both SHA-1 and MD5.
